Description
About ngrok Inc.
ngrok is a universal gateway trusted by over 7M developers to get their apps online faster in a secure way. With just one line of code or just one command, developers can deliver their services and offload non-functional requirements such as authentication, observability, performance, and high availability. All without provisioning legacy proxies, load balancers or VPNs. ngrok’s simplicity has made it a de-facto standard tool among developers and operations teams, and the world’s top brands — including GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio — recommend ngrok as a key technology partner.
Our mission is to free developers and operations teams from the complexities of networking, so they can focus on creating breakthrough apps and APIs—without getting bogged down by IPs, ports, DNS, and firewall configurations. This gives you an unparalleled opportunity to drive real innovation and make a lasting impact, all while doing the most meaningful work of your career.
