pgrok is a multi-tenant HTTP/TCP reverse tunnel solution through remote port forwarding from the SSH protocol. It provides stable subdomains for every user and is gated by an SSO through the OIDC protocol. Users need to bring their own domain name and SSO provider. The post also mentions the alternative ngrok and explains why pgrok is a better option for non-dev roles. It provides instructions on how to set up pgrok and includes examples of DNS records, server setup, Caddyfile configuration, creating an OIDC client, and running pgrok.
