Yet they are blocked by any sensible company. Why would you not use tailscale instead which imo is much more flexible?

  How is it "more flexible?" Your comment tries to provide vague criticism but by itself ends up offering nothing of value.

    Maybe they meant Tailscale's new feature which essentially does what ngrok can do. https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel/ https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel/

      Which is in beta, how is that a production-ready alternative? PS: Not asking you, but the guy from the original comment.

        Why would beta be a deal breaker for testing stuff? No one will use ngrok in prod right? (Except malware authors)

    The audience is developers and anyone testing server apps locally. You can do the same thing with a vps and ssh reverse tunnel or just use tailscale which can do the same thing. Do I have to spell out the details of what tailscale supports vs ngrok or can you make that comparison yourself? This is a comment not a critical blog response. The topic is ngrok's valuation, my response was how there are alternatives. How is that not valuable or relevant to the topic?

  What is blocked "by any sensible company"? For example, the initial outbound TCP from my local client to setup the tunnel?

    Malware abuses them a lot! That's what i meant

    I can confirm this. We work a lot with hospitals. When we want to let them try our services behind ngrok domains, they are often blocked. Unfortunately.
