What is ngrok?
ngrok is a globally distributed reverse proxy that secures, protects, and accelerates applications and network services. It combines reverse proxy, firewall, API gateway, and global load balancing into a single platform, allowing developers to expose local servers to the internet and inspect traffic for debugging.
Developers and teams building web services, APIs, or IoT applications who need secure ingress, traffic inspection, and simplified networking without complex infrastructure.
Developers choose ngrok for its unified approach to ingress, eliminating the need for multiple networking tools, and its ability to work seamlessly across local development, cloud, and IoT environments with built-in security and traffic analysis.
