Had to go to 0.0.0.0:8080 since the local subdomain isn't by default setup on Linux

Just extracting this out as a separate issue:

OT: But I had to go to the webserver using 0.0.0.0:8080 since the local subdomain isn't by default setup on Linux, is that something the dev has on their computer ?

Can you explain more detail about what you mean by this @stuaxo?

The normal URL you want to use is http://local.httptoolkit.tech:8080 which is a public DNS record, it shouldn't require local configuration - it's just a DNS record that resolves to 127.0.0.1.

It's only better than localhost in that it avoids some restrictions from Auth0 (and some other components I think) around using localhost addresses for local login - you should also be able to just use localhost:8080 if you like, really the only big issue is that login won't work correctly.
