Ngrok: GET /wordpress/ 301 Moved Permanently

[DB1500]

I use ngrok http tunnel to view my web designs on various devices. Recently I set up a wordpress development environment which all works fine. However, when I try to view using ngrok http tunnel the website loads for 20odd seconds then times out. The ngrok console spits out the following:

Is there a way around this?

It's hard to say without knowing more about what's going on. Please contact email [email protected], github will be exclusively for ngrok 1.X issues.

The following steps worked for me

1) Update ngrok (Ctrl+u when ngrok is running)
2) adding the following two lines to wp-config:
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
3) Installing https://wordpress.org/plugins/relative-url/ in Wordpress

@thorsten-stripe Thank you for providing the solution! The site loaded the site, however the css and other absolute links don't load.

The source code on my local machine shows relative urls, however viewing the source in android on chrome shows absolute urls.

Note this can be done by adding view-source: at the start of a URL, ie:
http://d33d0eff.ngrok.io becomes view-source:http://d33d0eff.ngrok.io

Oh my got after so many tries I found this advice with this plugin and IT WORKS. It finally works... Neither of the else plugins worked, not defining absolute WP_SITEURL/HOME, not changing database... Just these 2 lines, this relative-url plugin and ngrok with command ngrok http -host-header=rewrite wp.myserver and voila. Thank you so much :-)

I have the same, issue while using SSL, I added these two lines but and even replaces HTTP with HTTPS but nothing changed. I'm using an auto-generated SSL certificate from Laragon local server.

Confirming that host-header=rewrite worked for me too! Thank you. No other plugins or steps were needed for me.
