ngrok2 is a reverse proxy that creates a secure tunnel from a public endpoint to a locally running web service. ngrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay.
ngrok2 is a fork of ngrok 1.x and the focus of all current development effort.
NOTE I like ngrok 1.x project but it is no longer developed, supported or maintained by its author, so I fork the project to be a new repository to continue develop.
- Temporarily sharing a website that is only running on your development machine
- Demoing an app at a hackathon without deploying
- Developing any services which consume webhooks (HTTP callbacks) by allowing you to replay those requests
- Debugging and understanding any web service by inspecting the HTTP traffic
- Running networked services on machines that are firewalled off from the internet
