hi y'all, ngrok creator/founder here.
we removed anonymous usage of our product many years ago because it was far and away the largest source of abuse on our entire platform.
i believe at this point that that anonymous, account-less tunneling services like this are net negative for the security of the internet
happy to answer any questions from the community

hi hn, i'm the creator of ngrok. here to answer any questions!
we're excited to continue bringing the magic of ngrok to production workloads. there's no networking to configure, just helm install it. and unlike other ingress controllers, it creates secure internet ingress no matter where your clusters are: EKS, GKE, k3s on your raspberry pi, minikube on your laptop, OpenShift, etc.
<3s to you all

hi all, i'm the creator of ngrok. we released a similar SDK for Go a couple weeks ago [1] and we're really excited to make it just as easy to listen on the internet as it is to listen on a local port for all the Rustaceans out there now too :)
happy to answer any questions!

Thanks Kord! Founder of ngrok here, just a quick note of correction for others in this thread: ngrok is absolutely intended for production use cases. There are many customers both hobbyist and enterprise running thousands of production workloads over ngrok's service (including ourselves! we dogfood ngrok for our ingress). We're excited to be sharing more about that with the HN community really soon.

Really sorry about the frustrations! We're working on improving both of those pain points (as well as many other things). If you're still an ngrok user, send me an email at alan at ngrok dot com

Author here. After four years, I still stand by this advice/critique. As everyone likes to point out, there are a few presenters that are an exception to the rule. That's true! I'm certainly not one of them, though.
I would also love to see better tooling made for creating presentations from code. I usually end up painstakingly custom highlighting code so that it can be stepped through line-by-line on slides which is very ungrateful and frustrating work. I also haven't done this in a while, so if folks have found or made tools that make this easier, please send me recommendations!
