ngrok is a tool that makes it easier to develop networked services (HTTP/TCP) It is a man-in-the-middle proxy server that you run locally on your development box. It allows you to do the following things:
- Inspect all http requests/responses sent to/from the proxied application
- Replay any previously observed http request to the proxied application
- Expose a local http server to the internet on a subdomain of ngrok.com
- Expose a local tcp server to the internet on a random port on ngrok.com
ngrok has no dependencies. Just download a single binary for your platform and run it.
Binaries get placed in ./bin
git clone git@github.com:inconshreveable/ngrok.git
cd ngrok && make
