Private Endpoints

note

Private Endpoints are currently a beta feature, and only enabled for a limited number of accounts. Please contact support if you are interested in using this feature.

Introduction

In addition to public endpoints, ngrok also supports creating Private Endpoints which are specific to your account.

All private endpoints end in .private, and are specific to one ngrok account.

Private endpoints cannot be accessed directly, but rather can only be accessed using the forward-internal policy action.

Creating a Private Endpoint

A private endpoint may be created by specifying a binding of private for your endpoint. Specifically, when using the agent, a private endpoint may be created like so:

ngrok http --binding private --url "some.name.private" 8080

A private endpoint may listen on any port (such as --url "some.name.private:1234") and any protocol scheme (such as ngrok tcp and ngrok tls).
