ngrok not establishing connection with working localhost

[torinberger]

Hello,
Ive just started using ngrok, I followed a simple tutorial to get started: http://www.ifdattic.com/how-to-create-tunnel-with-ngrok/#http-tunnel
I have followed the steps, I currently have 2 files; server.js
server.js:
'use strict';

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));

app.get('/', function (request, response) {
response.send('Hello');
});

app.post('/', function (request, response) {
response.send(request.body);
});

app.listen(3000);

console.log('Open: http://127.0.0.1:3000');

and pakages.json:

{
"name": "ngroketest",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "index.js"
},
"author": "Torinberger",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.16.2"
}
}
`
as well as node_modules. The localhost for http://localhost:3000 is up and running displaying "Hello" as it should be. However ngrok is not able to tunnel to it with this error:

The connection to http://ffd7ba40.ngrok.io was successfully tunneled to your ngrok client, but the client failed to establish a connection to the local address localhost:3000. The error encountered was: dial tcp: lookup localhost: no such host

I feel as though I have made a stupid mistake, and sorry if I have, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Which command did you use to run ngrok? It should be ngrok http 3000

I'm asking because the website you linked also mentions ngrok tcp 27017, just making sure you aren't mixing up these 2

[torinberger]

Im assuming it was due to me being behind a firewall. I will try without the firewall asap.

[torinberger]

Okay it was a firewall issue, all fixed!

[snookybrown]

Please mine shows ngrok.io no found . how do i solve that?

[GiddyCode]

im also new to ngrok too, my issue is that my connection status refused to go online...

its displaying something like.
Session Status reconnecting (dial tcp (my ip: my port:) getsockopt: connection refused)
Version 2.2.8
Region United States (us)
Web Interface http://127.0.0.1:4040

Connections ttl opn rt1 rt5 p50 p90

[GiddyCode]

[Riyuzak2510]

[hypeofpipe]

[amperand]

I'm just getting a 404 with ngrok, but localhost at that port is running. Has anyone experienced this? I installed and tried on a different machine with no problems - but I need MY machine to work :/

[FatBobGo]

[redeyecoding]

im having same problem

[redeyecoding]

I think its becuz of a firewall ..
I will run Wireshark and see whats happening to verify

[Abinayajayakumar]

facing same problem..Anyone found the solution??

[miguelduarte42]

facing same problem..Anyone found the solution??

In my case I had more than 1 active session. The solution was to have multiple accounts if I was going to have multiple active sessions

[ajhello]

Did anybody ever find a solution to this problem? I think the error is happening because of my company's firewall. The command is working if I am connected to another wifi but the problem with doing that is I need to stay connected to that wifi if I want to share my website with others.

[WissalAbbassi]

Did anybody ever find a solution plz !!!!!

Hi guys
I was facing same issue

First of all, you should be able to access the port number you have set locally. For example, there should be a local server open at 3000. Like nodeJS or php or nginx.
So now it's ngrox's job to make locally opened servers accessible from the outside, but we're not opening them locally, so this is the problem.

Hot spotting through my phone fixed the issue for me.
