Start ngrok HTTP tunnel, but only forward to either HTTP or HTTPS, not both

When I start an HTTP tunnel, ngrok automatically starts forwarding on both HTTP and HTTPS. Is there a way to only start one of them?

You'll need to set the bind-tls option in your ngrok config. --bind-tls "true"

Tunneling to HTTP or HTTPS only

By default, when ngrok runs an HTTP tunnel, it opens endpoints for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic. If you wish to only forward HTTP or HTTPS traffic, but not both, you can toggle this behavior with the --scheme flag.

Example: Only listen on an HTTP tunnel endpoint

ngrok http --scheme=http site.dev:80

Example: Only listen on an HTTPS tunnel endpoint

ngrok http --scheme=https site.dev:80

Currently, to force the scheme (http instead of https) it is:

ngrok --scheme http http 8080

^ Binds to the 8080 port of the localhost
