Fighting Abuse on the ngrok Platform

Ngrok is a tool that enables developers to securely connect applications to the internet, but it has also been exploited for spamming, spoofing, and phishing attacks. To combat this, ngrok has implemented a new measure where new, free users serving content through a web browser will encounter an interstitial page, prompting them to acknowledge that the site is served by ngrok. This step, aimed at curbing phishing activities, is required only once per browser session and does not affect users serving APIs or programmatically accessing ngrok endpoints. Ngrok's strategy to mitigate malicious activities involves a combination of automatic detection, human moderation, and external reporting, with further information and reporting instructions available on their abuse page.
