This is the archived repository for ngrok v1, a Go-based tool that created secure tunnels from public URLs to locally running services, actively developed from 2013 to 2016. It is no longer developed, supported, or maintained; the ngrok cloud service continues under a separate repository and the company now offers a full ingress/gateway platform.
Use cases
- expose a local web server on a public URL
- test webhooks from Stripe or GitHub against localhost
- demo an app running on my machine without deploying it
- tunnel SSH or RDP into a remote device
- inspect and replay HTTP traffic to a local service
- share a Minecraft or game server with friends
When to choose
- you need to maintain or fork the legacy v1 codebase
- you want a self-contained, self-hostable tunnel implementation for study or archival purposes
When to avoid
- you want a supported tunneling tool - use the current ngrok agent or alternatives like Cloudflare Tunnel or localtunnel
- you need modern features like TLS, traffic policy, or API gateway capabilities
- you expect bug fixes or security patches - this repo is archived
