@picsoung I'm using ngrok for so long, I was really curious to see it launched today. And now I see that it's hunted by Nicolas. Two good surprises :D
@picsoung @frenchcooc We launched two new products - Cloud Edges and Secure Tunnels - which allows you to add authN, load balancing, circuit breaking, and a bunch of other capabilities via a few command line options. It's almost magic
@picsoung @laurentiu_ciobanu Nothing. You should enjoy the lack of notification pings, dings, and emails ;)
Longtime fan of ngrok and the whole team there — super excited about this successful launch and for what's next 👊
Congrats! Awesome to see ngrok become more accessible and powerful with Cloud Edges and Secure Tunnels.
Excellent product. Up-to this day, I could not find a good enough alternative to ngrok. Congrats on the launch.
@georgejustin22 Awesome, thank you. We're always trying to do more and do it better so it's exciting when others see it :)
I’m a huge fan of ngrok! Did something big happen that pushed to make a Product Hunt launch or was it just not hunted before and you wanted to do it?
One feature request: it would be nice if it was possible to set some “password” for others using it just in case the temporal link leaked online and someone got access to it.
@elias_lankinen Product manager from ngrok here. We launched a bunch of new capabilities that you should check out. You can add a user:pass to your links with the —basic-auth flag or add OAuth with the —oauth flag (no app changes needed). Thanks for using ngrok!
@sanjuruk Awesome. Check out the one liners from @inconshreveable in that post and any of them on the Product page. You should be able to copy/paste/tweak and run any of them
One of the most irreplaceable items in my toolbox. Big fan! Congratulations on the launch.
Congrats! I have been using your product on and off for a couple of years now. Love it, makes demoing and some testing way easier.
Kinda looks and feels like a de-facto tool for developers that work from home.
@aifrim That's what we've seen too. Most IT teams won't lend a hand with NAT traversal, etc on your home network so we cut through all of it :)
@caseysoftware There was not enough demand before the pandemic. Now, as more people are starting to work from home, the demand skyrockets. In the past you had to customize your router settings to provide a static IP. Then add port-forwarding for the designer port on the desired machine. If you had a dynamic IP, you either had to get your current IP or use a live DNS service where you'd it frequently. That was a hustle.
I am curious if you will implement other protocols in the future. Something outside of HTTP and WS.
@aifrim Yes, we already handle TCP traffic and here's a concrete list of systems/apps - https://blog.ngrok.com/posts/eve... Are you hoping for a specific protocol?
