Have you ever thought about how a sandbox tunnels a public URL out to the world when one end of the tunnel is untrusted code owned by the user? Take an example: a localhost:3000 app running in a sandbox inside a VM. The user wants a public link for it. It looks like a reverse proxy.

If there's just a public URL, anyone can hit it, and if the user doesn't want it shown to the world, that's not acceptable. If we put a secret token in the…
