ngrok and https tunnel for asp.net core application

The ASP.NET CORE application, when launched from visual studio, has the address https://localhost:44313/. To test the performance you need to make a tunnel. I use ngrok and the command:

ngrok http -host-header=localhost 44313

But this does not work for https.

Can anyone share a working example?

If u need to run multiple tunnels on a free-plan u can modify config as

version: "2"
authtoken: 2OS8VCciyOWXR7XM33rh6RY79jT_7u8VsgzzfwoewzGnfG3lV
tunnels:
  first:
    addr: 5173
    proto: http    
  second:
    proto: http
    addr: https://localhost:7125
    host_header: rewrite
    schemes: [https]

and then run

ngrok start --all

to find config run

ngrok config check

Update as March 2023.

After failing to get it running using all options above. I found the following from their documentation : https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/tunnels/http-tunnels/#host-header

To tunnel http

e.g

ngrok http --host-header=rewrite http://localhost:44345

if using https, e.g

ngrok http --host-header=rewrite --scheme=https https://localhost:44345

  1. Download the current version of ngrok
  2. Register and get a token: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/auth
  3. Run ngrok and set the token with the command: ngrok authtoken YOUR_AUTHTOKEN
  4. Create a tunnel: ngrok http --host-header=localhost https://localhost:44313

Update 11 april 2019

Now you have to put a -- before the host header

ngrok http https://localhost:{your-app-port} --host-header=localhost:"your-app-port"

You can use Ngrok Extensions in visual studio. The tunneling process is very easy.

Using ngrok version 2.3.29 and added authtoken (not sure if authtoken influences outcome, I've just added it following the online installation guide).

This command worked for me:

ngrok http https://localhost:{your-app-port} -host-header=localhost:{your-app-port}

Difference from existing answer: I pass localhost:port to -host-header

Difference form your question: I use ngrok http https://localhos:port instead of ngrok http http://localhos:port (https instead of http)
