How can I test my Angular Pages with Protractor in my local network at crosbrowsertesting.com? I installed "npm i cbt_tunnels" and my protractor.conf looks like this:

const cbt = require('cbt_tunnels');
export.config= {
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4200/',
framework: 'jasmine',
 directConnect: false,
 seleniumAddress: 'http://<myusername>:<mykey>@hub.crossbrowsertesting.com:80/wd/hub',
 capabilities : 
 name : 'protractor test', // this will show up in the UI
 // these are important :)
 browserName : "firefox",
 browser_api_name : 'FF39', // change this according to what browser you are using
 os_api_name : 'Win10', // change this for the OS you are using
 screen_resolution : '1024x768', // change this for the resolution
 record_video : 'true',
 record_network : 'true',
 record_snapshot : 'true',
 acceptInsecureCerts: 'true',
 tunnel: 'true'

 ,
 onComplete: () => 
 browser.quit();
 ,

 onPrepare() 
 cbt.start("username": "<myusername>", "authkey": 
 "<mykey>", function (err) 
 if (!err) console.log("cbt success");
 );
 

I can see the test running at crossbrowsertesting.com but the browser there says:
waiting for localhost

What is missing?

As the commenter noted, you need to start the local connection before you can actually use the local connection feature.

In this case, you will want to use this line:
'cbt.start("username":"USERNAME","authkey":"AUTHKEY",function(err) if(!err) do stuff )'
from the documentation; this will allow you to automatically start the test once the local connection has been set up correctly.

In this case, do stuff is everything to run your tests (scaffolding/setup can be done externally).

Something like this is what you're really after

const cbt = require('cbt_tunnels');
cbt.start("username":"USERNAME","authkey":"AUTHKEY",
 function(err) 
 if(!err) do stuff 
 );

Edit:
It looks like you want to start the tunnel in beforeLaunch, instead of in onPrepare, and it needs to be set as a promise. Something like this:

 beforeLaunch: () => 
 return new Promise( (resolve, reject) => 
 cbt.start("username": "<your email here>", "authkey": "<your auth here>", function (err) 
 if (!err) 
 console.log("cbt success");
 return resolve();
 
 return reject(err);
 );
 )
