Using ngrok with Cloudflare allows you to securely expose local development servers or applications to the public internet via a Cloudflare-managed domain. This is particularly useful for testing webhooks, interacting with APIs, and demonstrating your work without deploying to a public server. ngrok provides a temporary, secure tunnel, while Cloudflare handles DNS management, security (DDoS protection), and caching for your exposed application.
