All i do is (on Angular side) ng serve --disable-host-check

Is it a bad approach?

Does anyone know how to get this working with a custom URL?

@liquidvisual, it's probably irrelevant now. But I got ngrok working for a custom URL with the following config:

authtoken: <token>
version: 2
region: us
tunnels:
  <tunnel-name>:
    addr: https://mydomain.com
    host_header: mydomain.com
    proto: http
    hostname: <ngrok-host>

@OleksiiB5021

It crashes ngrok on my end

Thanks for this, it fixed my issue.

There was a question about how to do this with a custom URL.
ngrok http --subdomain {{subdomain}} --host-header=rewrite {{port}}
