I started using LocalWP about a month ago and it does it's job. No problems with speed but perhaps I'll give Laragon a try in the near future.

I've also noticed that Laragon uses Ngrok for tunneling, when a user wants to share their local dev server to Laragon's public server. This could in theory open up your computer to attack.

if you've exposed your dev app running on your laptop to the internet, any exploit in your app now works against your laptop endpoint instead of a production endpoint. your laptop is a very different environment from production: there are probably different protections, firewalls, monitoring, etc in place. additionally, while your laptop (hopefully) doesn't have direct access to production databases, you probably have stuff lying around that you wouldn't want an attacker to get their hands on: sensitive work documents, your Chrome cookies just sitting in a sqlite database somewhere, source code for all the repositories you have checked out locally (not just the one app that has the exploit). I don't agree that "using ngrok is not a security risk". - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14279142

Most people probably don't need to worry about this tho.

Laragon (multiple sites) and Bitnami (only 1 site) are SUPER fast

laragon is fast but in the end depend on your devices specification

Used Local for quite some time.
But the loading time was worse than on hosting.
Made the switch to Laragon - now sporting mysql-8.0.29-winx64 & php-8.1.6-nts-Win32-vs16-x64
Was thinking about switching to maria db - but hell, won't trim more than a few milliseconds - I'm pleased now

I'm on a Mac, so my dev path went: Mac system ( had option to use mySQL / PHP natively but wasn't as easy to get running ) > MAMP > AMPPS ( because it didn't require a Pro version ) > Local

Now I'm wondering about Laragon, but I'm on a Mac and not sure if that's an issue for installation or not? I looked on the Laragon site but didn't find any systems requirements info yet.

Anyone use Laragon on a Mac?

Laragon is the best
