The popular service for bypassing the provider’s NAT and forwarding ports on connections with a gray IP no longer works with Russian IPs. An error appears when trying to use the service:
ERROR: authentication failed: We do not allow agents to connect to ngrok from your IP address (89.222.217.50). ERROR: ERROR: ERR_NGROK_9040 ERROR: https://ngrok.com/docs/errors/err_ngrok_9040 ERROR:
The error text directs you straight to the official website, which blocks requests from Russian IP addresses without even displaying the error page. Connecting from an IP address another country, I managed to receive the following message:
As a company based in the United States, we are no longer permitted to conduct business with organizations targeted by sanctions from the U.S. government.
Now, users with gray IPs will have to look for other ways to open ports, either by renting a public IP from a provider or by proxying connections through a VPS.
P.S.: Unfortunately, this is not an April Fools' joke.
