Forward-internal - for dynamic routing to your internal endpoints
Kubernetes Endpoints - endpoints that are only accessible from your k8s clusters
Traffic Policy - CEL based rules to auth, route and accelerate traffic through your endpoints
IP Intelligence - to block bots, AI scrapers, anonymizing proxies
It's hard to keep up and we know that it can be difficult to know where to start. As developers ourselves, we know that we like to get started by copying and pasting examples. So we wrote a bunch of examples for you to copy in our new Example Gallery. Each example contains just the precise steps you need to cross a specific job off your to-do list. Try:
Shipped something cool with endpoints and Traffic Policy you'd like to contribute to our examples gallery? After you submit an example to the docs repo, reply to this email or fill out the intake form—there's some sweet ngrok swag in the mail for anyone who helps contribute new patterns for other ngrok devs to follow.
The v2 Go SDK is streamlined and more powerful
This major upgrade to the ngrok-go package lets you receive traffic the same way no matter where you run your Go apps all in just a few LOC. This version exposes ngrok's new features (Traffic Policy, anyone?) with a much simpler API surface, lets you precisely control TLS and dialing logic, and works with log/slog for a clean integration with your observability stack.
K8s Operator v0.19: polish for our Gateway API friends
Our K8s team has given the ngrok Kubernetes Operator a hefty polish this month, starting with how it handles validation and status conditions for Gateway API. We're using common Gateway API terminology and following patterns defined by that community, which also means more interoperability with community tooling like ExternalDNS.
Plus—a new policy around whether or not to delete domains, some performance improvements, and saying bye-bye to CRDs for ngrok features of the past. v1.0.0 is just beyond the horizon.
Our first in-person meetup: MCP ↔ ngrok ↔ Composio!
Join ngrokkers and members of the Bay Area community on June 27 for an evening of building secure AI integrations from scratch with MCP... an open standard that's basically USB-C for AI. Space is very limited and we'll be hand-picking attendees, so please...
Watch on YouTube: A free production setup for n8n!
The folks at Zero2Launch put together a fantastic walkthrough on how to self-host n8n with Docker, make it available on the public internet, and get the whole n8n cloud experience without the monthly cloud bill.
Our 10th edition of Office Hours featured a live workshop for sharing and securing your self-hosted n8n instance—check out the recording on YouTube to follow along yourself!
Our site-to-site and SSH/RDP guides are refreshed with more secure defaults and resilience through Endpoint Pools.
We added Algolia and Salesforce to the vast list of organizations you can filter for and take action on using IP Intelligence.
We now give you more helpful error messages about setting up DNS targets for custom domains.
I hope I've left you with a few more solid paths for what's next with you and ngrok. My promise to you—whatever weight that carries—is that we won't stop until you start to ask yourself, "What can't I do with ngrok?" See you next month for more on that front.
