It's free but with a price: It changes the address each time you run the program. Hence it's no practical for personal use unless you never restart the computer.

Install from the command line

  • winget install -e --id Ngrok.Ngrok
  • brew install --cask ngrok

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is ngrok?

ngrok exposes local servers behind NATs and firewalls to the public internet over secure tunnels.

How it works

You download and run a program on your machine and provide it the port of a network service, usually a web server. It connects to the ngrok cloud service which accepts traffic on a public address and relays that traffic through to the ngrok process running on your machine and then on to the local address you specified.

What it's good for

Demoing web sites without deploying Building webhook consumers on your dev machine Testing mobile apps connected to your locally running backend Stable addresses for your connected devices that are deployed in the field Running personal cloud services from your home
