Key Features:
- Expose local services securely to the internet.
- Share development environments with external collaborators.
- Test webhooks and APIs in real-time.
- Self-host personal or team services without complex infrastructure setup.
- Secure tunnels with built-in TLS encryption for data protection.
- Integration with popular development tools like VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, and more.

Ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and teams working on cloud-native applications. Ngrok streamlines the process of testing and deploying services by eliminating the need to modify firewall rules or configure public IP addresses, allowing users to focus on building and iterating without infrastructure constraints. It can be installed via winget for easy setup.
