NewIntroducing AI Gateway
All your traffic.
One gateway.
ngrok is an all-in-one cloud networking platform that secures, transforms, and routes your traffic to services
running anywhere.
From localhost to live in prod.
Instead of a hodgepodge of nginx, NLBs, VPNs, model routers, and Cloudflare, solve every networking problem
with one gateway.

Okay, but how does it work?
Connect anything with Endpoints, Traffic Policy, and Secure Tunnels.

Endpoints & Traffic Policy
Route, transform, and authenticate your traffic.
No more cryptic nginx configs or Lua plugins. Everything is a URL with traffic rules you attach. Compose them
together and offload processing to ngrok’s cloud gateway.

Endpoints & Traffic Policy
Take action at any phase in the request lifecycle.
Traffic Policy is an expressive CEL-based rules system. When a request hits different phases of its lifecycle, ngrok
executes each rule sequentially.
Stop cobbling your infrastructure together.
Security, performance, and resiliency built in by default.

Secure Tunnels
Connect to services anywhere, no firewall changes required.
Install a lightweight agent to deliver traffic to any service through a secure tunnel.

Environment Agnostic
Run your services in any environment
Because your services are connected to ngrok with secure tunnels, they can be deployed anywhere. If it listens on
a port and is connected to the internet, ngrok can deliver traffic to it.

Zero Open Ports
Close every single inbound port
Attackers can't skirt a secure tunnel to scan or attack your origin servers, which means you whittle down your
surface area and remove an entire class of attack vectors.
Least Privileged Access
Precise network access, not risky customer VPNs
Drop the ngrok agent into your customers' networks and tightly scope your access to just the APIs and databases
you need. Not their whole subnet.
