Ingress for external networks: customer environments

ngrok equips enterprises to securely connect to customer environments instantly, unlocking modern networking architectures such as Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC).

challenge

Connecting to customer networks is a challenge

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is an emerging architecture where software is deployed within the customer's environment — to access their data for instance. However, securing network access to a customer's environment can be time-consuming as you have to grapple with VPNs, VPC peering, PrivateLink and firewall configurations, which require extensive security reviews and approvals. This delays time to value and leads to dissatisfaction and churn.

solution

Hassle-free connectivity to customer networks

Deploy BYOC architectures in a frictionless manner by quickly securing access to customer networks without requiring any changes to network configurations.  

‍

  • Embed ngrok with your solution and get instant connectivity with your customers
  • Reach customers networks without inbound ports, site-to-site VPNs, or change requests
  • Connect to customers at scale by eliminating bespoke configurations
