Wait -- isn't this like 2x the price it was yesterday? If you've doubled the prices and barely addressed it that is NOT cool. Will you be auto grandfathering in existing customers?

This is probably the easiest way I've seen to put your app behind an oauth provider! Pretty exciting stuff.

Ngrok has always been fantastic, and I'm excited to try this out! At a previous job, we were using them to provide remote access to embedded linux devices, deployed to flaky internet connections all over the place, and it worked flawlessly. On top of that, they were incredibly responsive and helpful to all manner of questions despite us being a small customer. Unfortunately we went out of business before we could really start leveraging ngrok at scale :(.

I remember the days when Ngrok was just a little indie project. If I recall correctly, you could get the pro version by making a donation. (Which I happily did). Great to see they’ve now evolved in to a full-fledged company.

  Peters-Mac-mini-i5:~ peternikolow$ ./ngrok version ngrok version 2.3.40 Peters-Mac-mini-i5:~ peternikolow$ ./ngrok update No update available, this is the latest version. That's strange!

I'm super happy for Ngrok, I remember first hearing about it on HN forever ago and immediately loving what it allowed you to do. I've used it multiple times on and off since then and it's the first thing that comes to my mind in the problem space of "need to expose local service temporarily". It appears they are moving more into the Cloudflare Tunnels territory which is pretty dang cool. I wish I had more of use for Ngrok because my current usage doesn't merit a $20/mo subscription. Recently I ended rolling my own poor-mans-ngrok using Cloudflare Tunnels (needed a static domain to test my Apple Pay implementation and some other domain-verified-only things) and they are really cool but ngrok is way easier to get started with and use.

Just wanted to give praise to the ngrok team. Solves a real hurdle for corporate developers and has been working great for our team.
