# ngrok - Introspected tunnels to localhost ([homepage](https://ngrok.com))

### "I want to securely expose a web server to the internet and capture all traffic for detailed inspection and replay"

![](https://ngrok.com/static/img/overview.png)

## What is ngrok?

ngrok 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.

## ngrok 2.0

**NOTE** This repository contains the code for ngrok 1.0. The code for ngrok 2.0 is not open source.

## What can I do with ngrok?

- Expose any http service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a subdomain of ngrok.com

- Expose any tcp service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a random port of ngrok.com

- Inspect all http requests/responses that are transmitted over the tunnel

- Replay any request that was transmitted over the tunnel

## What is ngrok useful for?

- 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
