Summary

This article discusses the implementation of site-to-site connectivity for secure access to customer networks. A single ngrok agent per clinic is deployed, which acts as a central gateway and creates internal endpoints to securely expose each API, database, and dashboard only to ngrok, not the public internet. Cloud endpoints are used for controlled, on-demand access to the dashboard. The setup minimizes security risks, simplifies deployment, and ensures continuous uptime for mission-critical services. A custom agent and connect URLs can be set up to associate the point of connection with the brand. The solution supports multiple sites without requiring complex VPNs or multiple agents per site, making it a reliable and flexible option for secure access to customer networks.
