Port-forwarding your application port to your localhost
If for instance, I am testing the great vectr purple team's app on a cloud-based instance. The frontend will be by default running on localhost:8501. As a result, I'll able to redirect such traffic to my local machine thanks to this command.
gcloud compute start-iap-tunnel vectr-test-instance 8501 --local-host-port=localhost:8501
