What is pgrok?

pgrok is a reverse proxy that creates a secure tunnel from a public endpoint to a locally running web service. pgrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay.

What can I do with pgrok?

  • Expose any http service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a subdomain of ejemplo.me
  • Expose any tcp service behind a NAT or firewall to the internet on a random port of ejemplo.me
  • Inspect all http requests/responses that are transmitted over the tunnel
  • Replay any request that was transmitted over the tunnel

What is pgrok useful for?

  • Temporarily sharing a website that is only running on your development machine
  • Demoing an app at a hackathon without deploying
  • Developing any services which consume webhooks (HTTP callbacks) by allowing you to replay those requests
  • Debugging and understanding any web service by inspecting the HTTP traffic
  • Running networked services on machines that are firewalled off from the internet
