O'Reilly site-to-site connectivity guide
Connecting to external sites like customer networks typically involves opening ports in their firewalls or grappling with site-to-site VPNs, necessitating lengthy approval processes and IT resource provisioning.
But not with ngrok. Never ask your customers or partners to open ports on their firewall.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for using ngrok to connect to external sites without asking customers or your partners to make any network changes. You’ll learn how to:
- Connect to APIs and databases at external sites with mTLS
- Protect your endpoints from unauthorized access
- Secure your ngrok account to control who starts tunnels in your network
- Build a custom application using ngrok’s Python SDK to connect to devices in networks you don’t control
- Connect SaaS applications to customer data planes to implement a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) architecture
Site-to-site connectivity made easy
You need access to resources deployed in customer VPCs and on-prem environments. But you're blocked, waiting for IT teams to deploy networking changes. Discover how to fix that with ngrok.
With ngrok, we get comprehensive security with a full scope of functionality for all of our use cases.
