Dear @abbychau. Thanks for the feature requests!

I just have some questions, to make sure i understand the requests right.

• store port and protocol records

Are you using looking for this feature to reuse an a set of a previous created url? Because as far as i am know only the paid version of ngrok, allows that :). Or do you simply want the tunnels that are stopped, to stay in the tunnel list ?

• publish generated URL by a restful call

Is this so when you created a new tunnel, that it has an option to send the url, as a rest call to another progream? I would love a little more details here

• auto start on windows start

Would you just like the program to just auto start the gui on start up ?

Also are you using the paid version of Ngrok?

I hope it makes sense, if not feel free to ask again :)

No.

just to store the protocol and port configs

Is this so when you created a new tunnel, that it has an option to send the url, as a rest call to another progream? I would love a little more details here

actually any kind of triggering could work. other integrations can be done by simple scripting. but giving out the generated URL to a internet https endpoint makes most sense to me.

Would you just like the program to just auto start the gui on start up ?
start and load the config so to generate URL automatically. that is bascially what people doing in the CLI version.

paid version and non-paid version just affect if the generated URL able to be static or not. it does not affect the functions above.

Ah!, I think I am starting to understand what you would like here :) . So when you go into the "new tunnel" and fills the information, you would like a way to save the details, so is easier to create the tunnel again, with previously entered data?

Yeah, okay, so after a tunnel have been created it should be able to do a http post, to a url, so a external program are able to use the tunnel.

Yeah, now I understand. So you would like NgrokGUI, to be able start with windows and create the tunnels specified in the Ngrok configuration file?

On another note, may I ask you how important, this application being cross platform is to you as a user of NgrokGUI

I hope it makes sense, if not feel free to ask again :). I will soon create tasks for these feature requests, when I am sure I understand your wishes.

so is easier to create the tunnel again, with previously entered data?
exactly. saving them into a json is quite important to make this more useful to me.

I think making it cross-platform is good; making the gui optional and add a cli mode that can read the same json and initiate the url triggers. this is a sensible enhancement in my opinion.

Dear @abbychau
If you know, how to do it, you can take a look at the branch AllowUserToCreateTunnelWithSubDomain and compile the program. It should now, be easier recreate tunnels with previously entered data. #4. I still need to work on it a bit more, before i make a new release.

Also because I made #4 #5 and #6 based on your feedback, can i close this issue ? or do you have anymore feedback in here you feel I am missing.

[abbychau]

Thank you for the good works.
I seldom use windows recently. So I may get back to you later. Please feel free to close them if they are finished. I will check back later :)
