ngrok
All your traffic. One gateway.
ngrok is a cloud networking platform that functions as an AI and API gateway, providing secure tunnels, traffic routing, transformation, and observability for services running in any environment. It replaces a patchwork of tools like nginx, VPNs, and load balancers with a single unified gateway. Developers use it to expose local services, manage API traffic, and connect services across clouds without opening firewall ports.
A lightweight agent or native SDK is installed alongside any service, establishing an encrypted tunnel to ngrok's global cloud network, which then handles routing, authentication, traffic policies, and observability.
