# Project Title:
A Console-based TCP/IP Chat Messenger Application.
## 1. Project Description:
This is a console-based Chat Application built using Java 9. It includes functionality
for exposing a local development server to the internet using "Ngrok".
## 2. Tech Stack:
- Java 11
- Port Forwarding System - Ngrok
## 3. Install Project:
i. Clone the git repo
```
https://github.com/AAdewunmi/TCP_Chat_Application.git
```
ii. Open project folder
iii. Explore
## 4. Register and Install Ngrok (Global, OSX):
i. Installing ngrok on OSX (Read Ngrok documentation and Github Gist below):
https://ngrok.com/docs/getting-started
https://gist.github.com/wosephjeber/aa174fb851dfe87e644e
ii. Access Ngrok TCP tunnel using Terminal:
Run > $ ngrok tcp 1500
> TERMINAL ERROR MESSAGE!
TCP tunnels are only available after you sign up.
Sign up at: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup
If you have already signed up, make sure your authtoken is installed.
Your authtoken is available on your dashboard: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/your-authtoken
Run > $ ngrok authtoken [TOKEN]
Re-Run > $ ngrok tcp 1500
iii. Use Ngrok as a service in Intellij IDE (YouTube Video):

## 5. How To Use:
i. Run Server Class, then Client Class.
ii. Run Server and *** multiple Client configs on "localhost"/Port Number 1500.
iii. Run Server and *** multiple Client configs on Ngrok-as-a-service (Download plugin) on "localhost"/Port Number 1500.
iv. Run Server and *** multiple Client configs on Multirun-as-a-service (Download plugin) on "localhost"/Port Number 1500.
v. Run Server config on "localhost"/Port 1500, Run multiple *** Client configs using NGROK forwarding service (See commented code in Client and Server Class). Sample Ngrok forwarding address: "x.tcp.ngrok.io", port number XXXXX.
* multiple Client configs: To create multiple clients using Intellij, you need to go to
-> Edit Configurations
-> Click Client
-> Copy Configuration
-> Client(1) created. This process can be repeated to create as many clients as required.
