Having some issues with Core support. At least when I choose it off the VS2017 menu, I think it's looking for a .NET project and not a Core project. Either way, it says it can't find any web sites. That would make sense because there's no web.config in my Core project.

Anyway. Cool product. I've moved on to ASP.NET Core and had problems with another project, so I'm hoping you'll get to it soon.

Hello,

It would be a good idea to specify the web projects that we would like to be integrated with ngrok as free users only are able to start up to 4 tunnels.

Thanks.

I started a web project with Local IIS, but when starting the ngrok tunnel I got

The forwarding is on port 42567 but my project is on port 80 because it's hosted in Local IIS, and I can't access it from the ngrok tunnel.
How can I solve?

This may be related to the following issue:
#30

But can you please support using the ngrok.subdomain value in the appsettings.Delopment.json rather than just the appsettings.json file, this will help keep the settings away form production.

This is the oddest thing.

I was running this just fine against a test project and then one morning, it just quit working. It has to be something I've done, but I'm having trouble debugging it.

I launch the site in debug mode - the site comes up fine. I publish the site to Azure - the site comes up fine. But if I launch in debug mode and attempt to access it via an ngrok tunnel, my site just does nothing. The Inspect web page shows the call coming in and it looks find to me. Just nothing goes out.

I tried routing other sites using ngrok and they work fine.

I've tried using the VS2017 extension and the CLI launch - same each way.

I noticed when testing the other sites that I didn't have to grant permissions using netsh to handle those incoming requests and they still worked fine. I tried deleting the permissions for the site in question and it didn't help.

Ever hear of anything like this?

TIA

I can not install the extension, because it does not find the json file in the extension.

You can get links to the latest stable version of ngrok for any OS/arch combination right here: https://dl.equinox.io/ngrok/ngrok/stable

Are you planning on that if so do you need any assistance?

Install for VS 2019

Tools => Start ngrok Tunnel fails to find the Azure Functions V2 Project(because it does not have a filename that ends with funproj)

I am creating a branch and pushing it to it to test and will do a pull request soon

Solution:
include AzureFunctionsVersion in PortPropertyNames and continue like you would normaly. you can inspect the value for "V2" but it is not really needed and may limit functionality when V3 is released.

When pop-up is answered yes if you want the tool to download and install the new version, an error message appears with "Access to the path 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\ngrok.exe' is denied. When answering no, nothing happens. Can't use the tool anymore like this

Add support for VS2019

I'm still getting the random domains even when I set the app settings... I must be setting them incorrectly but I am not sure how. I've tried the below:

  "Values": {
    "ngrok-subdomain": "myTunnel"
  },
  "ngrok-subdomain": "myTunnel",

Is there a way to start a named tunnel? (from ngrok config)

Hi,

I'm new with ngrok, after install ngrok Extension, when i go to Tools>Start ngrok Tunner i get this error "Did not find web projects"

I have a solution , in this solution 3 projects added
1º A class library,
2º 4.5 framework asp.net web form project, (is set at startup project)
3º A console application

Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Hello Is it possible to use ngrok to access a domain as opposed to subdomain? eg example.com not dev.example.com.

It'd be nice to be able to quickly enter or send a default user/pass setting parameter to ngrok

-auth="username:password"

VSIX Installer:

This extension cannot be installed because the following references are missing:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor

Idea: Open the ngrok web interface, possibly in a tab within Visual Studio. If this works, we could probably have the ngrok console window start minimized.

Hello,

It would be nice to not have to configure ngrok in the production appsettings.json file when it is only used for development. The easy change would be to also look in appsettings.Development.json for the value, however even this has some drawbacks. Since each developer will most likely have a different subdomain setup for their dev environment, it would be really nice if NgrokExtensions could look in the csproj file for the existence of a <UserSecretsId> property and then look for the config values from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\UserSecrets\{UserSecretsId}\secrets.json.

Thanks!

Chris

Is it possible if if I open a tunnel in vsCode 2019 that I can change the port to 5000 so I can hopefully finnaly finisch a challenge of TwillioQuest

A lot of people only need https anyway.

Also by looks of this #37 does not pass this command either in the case of the port being like 5001 or even 5000.

Following the installation of the ngrok plugin for VS2017 the appropriate menu option appears. However, when I select that menu option (Tools ->Start ngrok Tunnel) I receive a message stating that it is not installed...and offering to do so.

If I select Yes, I am then given a null reference exception:

Installing plugins is pretty simple, I can't imagine what I might have done 'wrong'

Hi

I would like to be able to set a default region (maybe just a string) in the options so i can tunnel on eu region.

Ngrok recently addedd support for https localhost. (See this issue)
Maybe this extension should add support too? Ngrok already starts on the SSL URL if its available, but it should be 'https' before localhost instead of 'http'.

.NET Core projects are also https by default, so it should apply there too.

When I click "start ngrok tunnel" from Visual studio 2019 (version 16.5.5), displaying a message "ngrok 2.3.34 or above is not installed. Would you like me to download it from ngrok.com and install it for you. If I press Yes, got an error message: "Access to the path 'C:\windows\System32\ngrok.exe' is denied."

This is just a "nice-to-have." More of a feature suggestion really.

However, instead of having to remember cryptic .config file commands and to reduce the chance for errors (I just hate it, personally, when software does not work as I expect simply because I typed one character wrong in some config file).

The suggestion is to make the extension add some sort of graphical tool window, or maybe an extra tab onto Project -> Properties in order to alter the config in a user-friendly manner.

How to set -host-header"port#" in appsettings ?

Thanks

I am using Visual Studio 2017.

When I try to open a tunnel, I get a message saying that ngrok is not installed and offering to install it. When I click "yes", the installation fails with an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

I have already downloaded, but don't know where to put it, for the extension to find it. How can I install ngrok manually until this issue has been fixed?

Also, the menu item should really be initial-capitalized, instead of tunnel as the last word of the command, with a lowercase t, it should be uppercase T.

In any event, add an update handler to the command where the Start ngrok Tunnel menu item is disabled if any of the following are true:

(a) Visual Studio is open but no solution is currently loaded
(b) A solution is loaded and there are no Web projects in it

Ideally, there should also be settings via Tools -> Options that allows the user to override this behavior (say, if they are building a console or Windows Sockets app such as for Cybersecurity applications).

By default, it is getting started for multiple project. Is there a way i can specify the ports for which the tunnels should be enabled. Looks like there is no option to control the port numbers we want the tunnel to be active.

When a web project is inside a solution folder, the project is not found by the extension.

Display a QR code generated with ngrok tunnel URL when started (at least the option to do so).

Use case:
I've been using the free tier with the randomized ngrok.io subdomain to test localhost on mobile devices outside network. I would love to not have to type in the new URL manually every time. I currently accomplish this flow using a QR generator extension in Chrome then scan with phone to open URL. It'd be nice to have it just display when started like the web interface - perhaps in a tab within VS.

A mashup with some of this extensions functionality - VSCode QR Code

The current version of Ngrok Visual Studio extension is 0.9.14.

When I start the extension from the tools, I get this pop-up:

, which sometimes fails.

When will the latest version be shipped?

When tunnel starts via extension, copy the tunnel URL to clipboard for handy pasting.

Thanks!
