This guide shows you how to expose your local SSH server with an ngrok TCP endpoint and connect from a remote client.

​
Expose your SSH server

ngrok’s TCP endpoints work well for SSH traffic. Start a TCP endpoint to port 22 and you’re ready to connect. 
ngrok tcp 22
TCP endpoints are only available on a free plan after adding a valid payment method to your account.

​
Connect via the ngrok TCP address

When connecting through the ngrok TCP address, specify the port separately. 
ssh -p PORT user@NGROK_TCP_ADDRESS
If you’re getting a failed connection, the cause is usually a misconfiguration on the server you’re connecting to or the credentials you’re using.
