ngrok
Secure, scalable cloud networking for local and remote services
About ngrok
ngrok is a cloud networking platform that secures, transforms, and routes traffic to services running anywhere. It simplifies exposing local servers, managing APIs, and connecting devices with secure tunnels, traffic policies, and endpoints.
Key features
Ease of Use
ngrok simplifies exposing local servers to the public internet with minimal setup. No complex networking configurations are required, making it accessible for developers of all skill levels.
Security
All tunnels are secured with HTTPS and support multiple authentication methods. Built-in protections like OAuth, IP restrictions, and DDoS mitigation ensure secure access to your services.
Speed of Setup
Get started in minutes by downloading the executable and running a single command. Ideal for rapid development, testing, and deployment scenarios.
Flexibility
Supports HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and other protocols, making it versatile for web apps, APIs, databases, and IoT devices.
Monitoring
Real-time traffic inspection and log exports help debug requests, analyze performance, and integrate with observability tools like Datadog and CloudWatch.
Built-in Authentication
Easily add OAuth, OIDC, basic auth, or mutual TLS to tunnels without configuring your web server, ensuring secure access to your services.
Secure Tunneling
End-to-end encryption and zero open ports reduce attack surfaces. Securely connect to services anywhere without modifying firewalls or VPNs.
Portability
Works across Windows, macOS, and Linux with minimal setup. Deploy services in any environment while maintaining consistent connectivity.
Integration
Connects with Slack, AWS, Kubernetes, and more. Use APIs, SDKs, and Terraform for automation in CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Inspection and Debugging
Web-based traffic inspector and request replay tools help analyze and debug HTTP traffic, webhooks, and API interactions efficiently.
