Cannot get ngrok to serve up my WordPress site

I have a simple wordpress install using Mamp Free Version on OS/X.

Version 2.0.19/2.0.19
Web Interface h#tp#//127.0.0.1:4040
Forwarding h#tp#//6c219c8e.ngrok.io -> localhost:8888 Forwarding

For some reason when I try the links generated by ngrok, the website loads forever, then I get

Page not available.

Answer 1

As @Magico stated, download from the repo https://github.com/jonathanbardo/WP-Ngrok-Local and place that in your plugins directory, activate the plugin.

Then, after you get your ngrok tunnel URL up & running, take that URL and place it in your wp-config.php as follows:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.ngrok.io/' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.ngrok.io/' );

Now you will be able to access the homepage as well as the admin dashboard.
