ngrok is a globally distributed reverse proxy that secures, protects and accelerates your applications and network services, no matter where you run them. You can think of ngrok as the front door to your applications.

Run your app on AWS, Azure, Heroku, an on-premise Kubernetes cluster, a Raspberry Pi, and even your laptop. With ngrok, it all works the same. ngrok is a unified ingress platform because it combines all the components to deliver traffic from your services to the internet into one. ngrok consolidates together your reverse proxy, load balancer, API gateway, firewall, delivery network, DDoS protection and more.
