Ngrok

ngrok

Ngrok is a tunneling service that exposes your local development server to the internet via a secure public URL. Common use cases include:

  1. Development and Testing — Share locally-hosted web apps or APIs with colleagues or clients without deploying to a public server.
  2. Debugging — Allow external access to a local application for easier issue identification.
  3. Demos and Showcases — Present work-in-progress projects to stakeholders who are not on your local network.
  4. Webhooks Testing — Provide a publicly accessible URL for third-party services to send webhook data to.
  5. IoT Device Testing — Remotely access and control IoT devices running on local networks.
