ngrok is a command‑line tool that creates secure, public URLs for local services by acting as a reverse proxy and tunnel. It also provides API‑gateway features, traffic inspection, and policy‑driven access control.
Use cases
- Expose a local web server on a public HTTPS URL for demo or testing
- Receive and debug webhook callbacks from third‑party services on your development machine
- Securely access remote devices or services via SSH or RDP through a tunnel
- Create short‑lived preview URLs for CI/CD pipelines and pull‑request reviews
- Connect IoT devices to the cloud with a device gateway
When to choose
- You need a quick, zero‑config way to make a local service reachable from the internet
- You want built‑in request inspection, replay, and traffic policies for debugging
- You require a unified solution for tunneling, API gateway, and remote access without managing infrastructure
When to avoid
- You need a fully self‑hosted, actively maintained open‑source tunnel solution
- Your workload demands high‑throughput production traffic with strict SLA guarantees
- You prefer a solution without reliance on a third‑party cloud service for tunnel management
