Adding auth to applications seems easy at the surface, but it can quickly become a source of frustration once you need to deliver a production-grade solution with features for end-users — i.e. self-service sign-ups, account recovery, and social auth for multiple platforms — and for security — i.e. audit trail, live session management, and authorization policies. In this post, I'll integrate ngrok to Auth0 and solve for these challenges.

This month we've been busy with ngrok-go, ngrok-rust, making OAuth and webhook verification free for all plans, and traveling coast to coast and even to Europe. Read on for details.

The last month has been busy at ngrok! We’re tremendously proud to announce we’ve raised $50M in funding to grow ngrok’s API-first ingress as a service platform for developers. We’ve also focused on improving security with Dashboard SSO and Identity-Aware Ingress, developer experience with new documentation, and contribute to the community with webhook security and an open source firewall toolset for go

Webhooks are the foundation of modern API development. They enable us to react to changes in our systems, an incoming text message, a successful payment, or that latest pull request no matter our stack. While webhooks are universal in concept, they are unstandardized API contracts with few organizations paying attention to their design, security controls, and overall operational experience.

This month, we focused in two areas you asked for (a lot) and filled in some other bits and bytes to give you a hand: productivity features to launch your tunnels quickly with style and security features so you use ngrok in your org with IT and security approval.

Since our major release in April, we've been busy on all fronts from webhook verification, the trust & security portal, and even our community efforts with Slack. Read on for more details!

Learn how to use ngrok Cloud Edge middleware to address app requirements – such as observability, load balancing, compression, and security – fast and without the burden of running and maintaining a middleware infrastructure.

ngrok Secure Tunnels provides a simple to enable remote access to systems. With one command— i.e. `ngrok http 80` — you can share your apps, APIs, and systems with the world, without complex network configuration, reliability issues, and NAT. However, with power comes great responsibility so let's add OAuth 2.0

We love the phrase "Happier with Zapier" because we can get rid of those menial, repetitive tasks like updating spreadsheets. Check out what we can automate by adding ngrok and a remote API.

Learn how to set up and manage ngrok tunnels straight from VS Code. If you want to do the same, grab your VS Code and follow along.

Testing code is a tedious task and can take a lot of time, especially when certain conditions – i.e. trigger a webhook or API request from a service or load certain pages as a user – are required.

What can you tunnel with ngrok? More and more, a better question is: What can't you tunnel with ngrok?
