- Decide on a subdomain to use with ngrok. This makes the whole process easier.
- Open up a Command Prompt in Administrator mode and run the following command to register the URL with HTTP.sys replacing "modernie" with your subdomain and ##### with your VisualStudio/IISExpress application's port.
netsh add urlacl url=http://modernie.ngrok.com:##### user=everyone
- Edit your applicationhost.config. The easiest way to is start up the site and right-click the IISExpress icon in the System Tray. Click "Show All Applications" and select your website running at
localhost:#####
. Click the path next to "Config" to open the file in an editor. - Search for you site's
<bindings>
configuration. The easiest way is to search for*:#####:localhost
, which should bring you to the<bindings>
section for your site. Edit them to include the following:
<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:#####:modernie.ngrok.com" />
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:#####:localhost" />
</bindings>
Save the file, making sure to replace "modernie" with your subdomain and ##### with your application's VisualStudio/IISExpress port.
- Restart your site.
- Run ngrok with the subdomain settings from a Command Prompt running in Administrator mode. This can be done with the following command:
ngrok.exe -authtoken XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -subdomain=modernie #####
Make sure to replace "modernie" with your subdomain and ##### with your application's VisualStudio/IISExpress port.
Tried dprothero's command above, as well as the extension. Tried netsh and editing applicationhost.config. In every case, what I get when I try to visit the ngrok url is:
a) in my ngrok client, I see the request come in - so it is getting to my machine
b) the request takes quite a while - ballpark 2 minutes?
c) eventually comes back 502
seemingly same as this StackOverflow article
Anyone else running into this with VS2017?
