Expanding ngrok's free plan with security in one line

What's this blog post about?

ngrok has added security features to its free plan, including OAuth and Webhook validation, allowing developers to integrate up to 5 users a month with an OAuth provider and secure webhook communications up to 500 requests a month. The addition of these features is made possible by ngrok's integration with popular OAuth providers such as Google, Microsoft, and GitHub, which replaces the burden of implementing OAuth on the developer's part. Webhook validation is also simplified through ngrok's partnerships with 60 popular services, allowing developers to secure their webhook communications with a single command. The move aims to empower developers while keeping security teams happy, aligning with ngrok's mission to take ingress off developers' plates and make security-focused features accessible and easy to use.
