How to install ngrok in termux with an original way

Hello guys in this tutorial i’m going to show you how to install ngrok in termux and kali-linux

What is ngrok?

ngrok is a cross-platform application that enables developers to expose a local development server to the Internet with minimal effort. The software makes your locally-hosted web server appear to be hosted on a subdomain of ngrok.com, meaning that no public IP or domain name on the local machine is needed.

In other word’s, Ngrok is a reverse proxy that creates a secure “tunnel” from a public endpoint for a web service running locally.

Basically, Ngrok creates a tunnel, where its function is to redirect external connections to your localhost.

How Ngrok works?

Let’s assume you have a web server running on your machine. Now you intend to share, with a colleague, the address of a website that you developed, but as it is on the private network. To do this, just use Ngrok. Considering that the webserver is at port 8080, you only need to execute the following command.

ngrok http 8080

What you can do with Ngrok?

• Share website to a colleague that is running on a private network;
• Create a TCP server on your device;
• Port forwarding;
• Testing mobile apps connected to your locally running backend;
• Stable addresses for your connected devices that are deployed in the field;
• Running personal cloud services from your home;
• And also you can use Ngrok in Ethical hacking.
