Secure tunnels have transformed how my team tests webhooks and shares live development demos
The biggest friction point I faced with ngrok was the limitation on the free plan and the occasional need to manage sessions or URLs again. For very heavy use, the advanced capabilities are very useful, but some of them feel quite restricted unless you are on a paid tier. ngrok works very well, but the main frustration is when you need the same tunnel setup repeatedly or want more advanced controls. In those cases, you start to feel the pain. I wish ngrok had more flexibility in the free or low-tier plans, especially around persistent tunnels, reserved URLs, and usage limits. It would also be very useful to have even better traffic analytics and easier collaboration features for small teams. If I could change one thing about ngrok, I would make persistent tunnels and reserved URLs more flexible in the lower plans. That would make my workflow smoother because I wouldn't need to keep redoing tunnel setup for repeated testing and demos. Making persistent tunnels and reserved URLs more flexible in the lower plans would change my workflow by reducing repeated setup and making webhook testing and demos faster while giving the team more consistent URLs for local services.
