Installing Ngrok

First you need to download and install ngrok from www.ngrok.com. When you download the file it will probably end up in Downloads folder. The ZIP file will probably automatically open so you can copy the ngrok executable file to a folder on your system such as the Desktop.
To run ngrok from the Desktop folder, start a Command prompt and type:

cd Desktop
ngrok http 80

Ngrok should start up and show a user interface like this:
You should note the temporary URL that ngrok has assigned you for use later. In this example, the temporary URL is http://2a89d3c39.ngrok.io - record that for later.
You can place the ngrok executable command in any folder you like.

Checking Your Application Locally

First make sure that you know that your application is running on localhost:

Checking Your Application Via NGrok

Construct the ngrok url by removing the "http://localhost" and replace it with the ngrok-provided URL:

Local: http://localhost/php-solutions/assn/guess/guess.php
Ngrok: http://2a89d3c39.ngrok.io/php-solutions/assn/guess/guess.php

Test that url in your browser. The ngrok and local urls should return the exact same page.
Once you have verifed your application is working, submit the ngrok url to the autograder.
Interestingly, ngrok shows you as it is forwarding the various HTTP requests back and forth.

Closing Ngrok

You can press CTRL-C in the ngrok terminal window or simply close the ngrok window.
Remember that each time you start ngrok, it will assign you a different random address.
