Please follow this [https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/tunneling/#providing-credentials-for-ngrok](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/tunneling/#providing-credentials-for-ngrok) to set up your ngrok config, the original workaround has been deprecated.

> 
> The workaround is:
> 
> 1. Sign up for an ngrok account: [ngrok - Online in One Line](https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup)
> 2. Create a ngrok.yml file, sample:

> ```auto
> version: 2
> log_level: debug
> region: us
> authtoken: <your-ngrok-authtoken>
> 
> ```
> 
> 1. Run `forge tunnel --ngrok-config <your-ngrok-config-path>`
