Set up a reverse proxy with AWS and ngrok

You can set up a reverse proxy with ngrok and AWS to protect your service from direct internet access, DDoS attacks, and improve scalability. Ngrok provides a lightweight agent for handling public traffic, automated certificate management, built-in DDoS protection, caching, geo-aware failover, and simple paths to enabling features like redirects/rewrites, authentication, and observability. To set up ngrok on AWS, you need an AWS account with privileges to create new VPCs and EC2 instances, as well as an ngrok account. You can install ngrok on your EC2 instance and configure it to proxy traffic from the public internet to your service on EC2. Ngrok also provides a simple demo using Flask and Python to showcase its capabilities.
