Definitions for every feature and metric that appears in the [ngrok pricing docs](/pricing-limits/).

## Online endpoints

The number of endpoints you can have online at the same time.

[Learn More](/gateway/agent-endpoints/)

## Development endpoint hours

Public endpoints started with your development domain do not accrue endpoint hours.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/#limits-and-licensing)

## Active endpoint hours

An endpoint is active if it has outgoing traffic during the hour.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/#limits-and-licensing)

## Endpoint protocols

These are the different protocols available to you as a subscriber of each plan.

[Learn More](/gateway/agent-endpoints#protocols%2C-binding-and-pooling)

## Endpoint hours

The amount of time your endpoints are online.

## Load balancing

Load balancing at ngrok is called endpoint pooling.

[Learn More](/gateway/endpoint-pooling)

## Domains

Domains you own registered in the ngrok dashboard.

[Learn More](/gateway/domains/)

## Development domain

Your development domain is specific to your account, and does not incur usage charges. You can use anything for free on your sandbox domain within your account's limits.

[Learn More](/gateway/domains/)

## ngrok-branded domains

Use any ngrok-branded domain that you pick from ngrok's pool.

[Learn More](/gateway/domains/)

## Traffic Policy Units

Traffic Processing Units (TPUs) are ngrok’s usage-based metric for measuring the work your Traffic Policies perform.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/traffic-policy-unit-pricing)

## Bring your own custom domains

Use any custom domain name that you already own with ngrok.

[Learn More](/gateway/custom-domains/)

## Wildcard Domains

You can create an endpoint which will receive traffic for all of the subdomains matching a given wildcard domain like \*.example.com.

[Learn More](/gateway/http/#wildcard-endpoints)

## TCP Addresses

TCP Addresses enable you to create public TCP Endpoints on a fixed address.

[Learn More](/gateway/tcp-addresses/)

## Data transfer out

The total volume of data transferred outbound from ngrok's network to clients, including traffic forwarded to agents.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/#limits-and-licensing)

## Requests to HTTP/s endpoints

The maximum number of HTTP/s requests a client can make to an account's endpoints in a month.

[Learn More](/gateway/http/)

## Connections to TCP / TLS endpoints

The maximum number of TCP/TLS connections a client can make to an account's endpoints in a month.

[Learn More](/gateway/tcp/)

## HTTP Requests

The maximum number of HTTP requests across all endpoints per minute.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/how-ngrok-charges/)

## TCP Connections

The maximum number of TCP connections across all endpoints per minute.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/how-ngrok-charges/)

## Bring your own certificates

Upload your own TLS certificates if you don't want to use the TLS certificates that ngrok automatically provisions for you.

[Learn More](/gateway/tls/)

## End to End TLS

Terminate TLS at your upstream service or at the ngrok agent to achieve end-to-end encryption.

[Learn More](/gateway/tls-termination/)

## Mutual TLS

Mutual TLS Authentication (mTLS) is a network security protocol that ensures both the client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates.

[Learn More](/traffic-policy/)

## Traffic Policy Units (TPUs)

This is a combination of the actions, macros, and variables applied to a request. WAF, mTLS, and more are included in TPUs.

[Learn More](/pricing-limits/traffic-policy-unit-pricing/)

## Traffic Identities

OAuth/SAML/OIDC. This is calculated by the number of end users that authenticate into your app or service via the Traffic Policy action.

[Learn More](/traffic-policy/)

## Traffic Inspector Retention

This is the number of hours ngrok retains your traffic data in Traffic Inspector.

[Learn More](/obs/traffic-inspection)

## Traffic Log Exporting

Export event logs when traffic transits through your endpoints to S3, Datadog, Azure Logs, CloudWatch Logs + more.

[Learn More](/obs/)

## Concurrent Agents

The maximum number of ngrok agents that can be simultaneously connected to the ngrok cloud service under a single account.

[Learn More](/agent/)

## Dedicated Agent Connect IPs

Get a constant, dedicated IP for your account's agents.

[Learn More](/agent/)

## Custom Agent Connect URLs

Customize the URL that the agent connects to.

[Learn More](/agent/)

## Remote Agent Update Operations

Run ngrok in the background as a service.

[Learn More](/agent/)

## Users

Members of your account that can view or create endpoints.

[Learn More](/iam/users/)

## Service Users

Service users are accounts for automated systems that programmatically interact with your ngrok accounts either by starting ngrok Agents or making requests to the API.

[Learn More](/iam/service-users/)

## SSO/RBAC

Federate auth to your Identity Provider (IdP) with SAML or OpenID Connect.

[Learn More](/iam/sso/)

## Identity and Access Governance Suite

SCIM, Domain Controls, Account-Wide IP Restrictions, Audit Logs.

[Learn More](/iam/)

## Authtoken ACLs

Authtoken ACLs restrict what endpoints an ngrok agent can create when using that authtoken.

[Learn More](/agent/config/)

## Basic support

Email support and best-effort response times.

## Slack and MS Teams

Dedicated channel with 24 hour response SLA.

## Dedicated On-Call

Committed/Contractual Uptime SLA and Support SLA.

## Region-specific routing

Configure your domains to only route traffic through specific geographic regions.

## HIPAA / BAAs

HIPAA compliance is built in: ngrok handles the BAA so you can focus on building the app.

## SOC2

Independent verification that your data is secure.

## Security questionnaires

If your team requires a security questionnaire, ngrok can prepare it.

## Invoicing

If your team requires an invoice for billing purposes, ngrok can send it.
