OAuth

Announcing the addition of Cloud Edges to our free tier to deliver production apps and APIs on ngrok

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.

While ngrok is useful to run along side your app, what happens when you embed it into your app and start activating OAuth, webhook verification, load balancing, and more?

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.

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to play with Zoom Apps. Before I dug in, I assumed Zoom would give an app a little information about an active or scheduled meeting, a little more on the user profile, let you manipulate a meeting, and call it a platform. Frankly, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Today, we are adding additional visibility for users logging into your application through our edge. Now you can see your application users in the ngrok dashboard and view their identity details. In this blog, I'll explain why this feature is a huge win for security and how you can take advantage of it today.

I've worked with OAuth 2.0 for over 6 years. It's always been a complex and challenging beast to fight until now.

In this post, I cover the different methods you can use for authenticating traffic with ngrok, including OAuth and OpenID Connect.

How to run ngrok with Slack webhook authentication? How to use GitHub OAuth? How to serve files? This cheat sheet shows the main commands! Print it and hang it on your wall or download it and keep it on hand.

In this post, we navigate some of the best practices, key considerations, and features provided by ngrok for production scenarios

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
