In my company, we are revisiting the remote access to deployed products.
We have about ~250 deployed Linux computers; which we historically update, monitor and configure via the customers' #VPN.
Customers progressively prohibit/complexifies this access (2FA, bastions, etc): automated administration becomes more and more difficult.
We are currently investigating #rathole (https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole) to establish a secured SSH tunnel, thus bypassing the VPNs.
Some customers still require access logs, ssh logs, key rotation, etc.
Any advices and/or alternatives (e.g. #tailscale, #ngrok ? (besides hiring a sysadmin, which we may soon)
Geez #ngrok makes it easy to set up oauth for your existing accounts ...
Blogged: Some unscheduled 'fun' with #ngrok and #DNS:
https://rmoff.net/2024/05/03/ngrok-dns-headaches/
Last year I wrote about using #ApacheKafka with #ngrok, and was chuffed how easily it worked.
Yesterday I went to use it for a forthcoming blog…and it didn't work.
After much gnashing of teeth and a fair bit of swearing, I got it to work. The culprit? DNS. Always DNS…
#visualstudio #DevTunnels are pretty cool, but it turns out that #ngrok is just as easy to use and is more powerful when troubleshooting #dotnetmaui and #aspnetcore communication issues
I’ve been looking for an ngrok alternative for a while now that’s (a) affordable (b) easy to use and (c) works with Kitten¹. Today, after testing a bunch of them again and getting fed up, I found LocalXpose that checks all the boxes.

Scott McAllister stopped by Community Corner to talk with Scott Keck-Warren about ngrok, where he is a Developer Advocate, and his upcoming talk on webhooks at php[tek] 2024!

Is #ngrok down or is it just me?
In the recent attacks, APT29 combined the old phishing tactic with a new technique, using a Ngrok free static domain (a feature announced by Ngrok on August 16) to reach the command and control (C2) server.

Y'know the whole snarky thing about "it's not the cloud, it's just someone else's computer"? 
Well what if the Kafka you wanted to connect to was literally on… just someone else's computer? 
Blogged: Using @ApacheKafka with #ngrok https://rmoff.net/2023/11/01/using-apache-kafka-with-ngrok/
#ngrok but for snail mail.
Not sure how I feel about this: I’m a paying #ngrok user for the only reason that I like having a static domain. ngrok just announced “static domains for our free users.” In theory I no longer need to pay… but paying helps them.
Wow, this is a big news for all the web and API developers. ngrok now offers one free static domain for all users https://ngrok.com/blog-post/free-static-domains-ngrok-users?utm_campaign=Monthly%20Newsletter&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=273371496&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9rTvtKQGArl21TqgEHiCih_SgJwYDMwojKo3LyTp-oQwsuTVn_2QMrgmFjgqRuJV-mwXlHA_OwIf2fNlHMqc6_ONbE7A&utm_content=273371496&utm_source=hs_email #ngrok
#ngrok launched one of its most requested features - static domains to all of its free users: https://bit.ly/45tr803
“With your free static domain, you can focus on developing your application, and no longer need to worry about broken links caused by agent restarts.”
I have written on #NGrok before as an easy way to expose a local service externally on a dydns URL. Recently, they put out a #kubernetes #ingress controller. I wanted to see, first, if it works and more importantly, what other means might we have for expose k8s services with Ngrok. https://freshbrewed.science/2023/07/13/ngrok-ingress.html
Thank you, #NLJug #JSpring attendees. I love you too 
Together, we had a lot of "buzzing" fun with #JavaOnRaspberryPi, #Vaadin, #SpringBoot, @pi4j, #Elecrow #CrowPi, @Raspberry_Pi, and #ngrok!
