Public URL of localhost application for use with Facebook

I am developing an application on rails 3.1 that will use the facebook registration plugin . I am following this tutorial to complete the integration. However, while I am developing my application on localhost: 3000, when I create the facebook application on facebook, I need to enter the public URL of the application.

I am currently using this awesome gem (localtunnel) to get a public url and it works fine. However, the problem is that the URL it provides is temporary until I restart localtunnel. Is there a way that I can get a permanent URL (any ugly url will do) so that I can continue development using facebook, and facebook can also access my localhost: 3000 via a public URL?

I had no problem setting the Facebook app url to localhost:3000 . Have you tried this? It works great while you test it on a computer running rails server.

If this does not work, you can use the no-ip technology: www.no-ip.com (it is free for the subdomain)
