Best tool for creating tunnels

  • July 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I liked about ngrok is that a person can create tunnels to his own system using this tool, i.e a person can make his IP: port online via this tool so that he can test out various functionality for the app/tool running in the port.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I disliked was that int the free version the URL created was automatically closed in 8 hours. A user should get the option to increase that. Also, the speed of the ngrok connection depends on the user's internet speed, which for me is an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a full stack developer. So, with ngrok I try to connect my frontend which is online to my local backend for the testing of the API's which I have created for the app since the frontend can't be used offline. Also, I could share the URL to my colleagues so that they can verify the API too. Also, I used it to test the frontend features of a website which cannot be used offline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ngrok is a great tool for creating tunnel to a person's IP. If you want to securely expose your local web server to the internet and capture all traffic for detailed inspection and replay then this tool is for you, Also, it offers a free trial that can use used by a person for testing purposes. You can test your frontend as well as your backend by creating a tunnel your local system.

What do you like best about the product?
Unique concept that links your port to divert your traffic from that port to internet so that it can be accessible anywhere in the world without any range or network constrain.
Just install NGROK, run it on cmd to divert your traffic and all set. Now you anyone can access your that port on internet with specific url.
Its useful to show the client real time progress of your project if you are working on web development without having your customer to visit your place to check the finished work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Your data is EXPOSED. With whole project going live on internet, anyone can access the website.

Also you need to have the source device on with ngrok running on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you have pc without wifi module and you need to send/receive data from mobile to particular port... say json response from you local offline project to android device which requires to connect both device under same network, this could create problem. With ngrok this restriction is eliminated.
