Hi @ballonura , when running your initial command did you have the environment variable NGROK_AUTHTOKEN set ?

ballonura commented 4 months ago

n0pe, how should i set it? i think the sdk itself know how get it.

In order to connect to the ngrok service, you need to supply a valid authtoken. There are two ways to do this with ngrok-javascript:

  1. Set authtoken_from_env to true (it defaults to false) and set the NGROK_AUTHTOKEN to your authtoken. How you set this environment variable will depend on your OS.
  2. Set authtoken_from_env to false and set authtoken to your authtoken as you did above when you passed manually.
