Has anyone tried using ngrok for setting up a server? I tried to do this with a friend since I have no external IP adress. The program is not really user friendly and I have no idea what I am doing. We are trying to chain two simulations.

You should be able to use a TCP tunnel for this: https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels#tcp-tunnels HTTP or TLS tunnels won't work. AJP in games Log in to reply |

I didn't really know what i was doing so I wrote in "ngrok tcp 50505" which I thought would forward all traffic from a ngrok domain to "localhost:50505" which was me. My friend tried to insert this domain when chaining but he got disconnected instantly.

After you run this command, ngrok should give you a domain and a port number, separated by a colon character. Did you put the part before the : in the IP field and the part after it in the port field? The port that your friend should use is not 50505, but the one given by ngrok.

Remove the tcp:// part, SimSig only needs a domain name, it doesn't let you choose a protocol.
