|
+**DO NOT RUN THIS VERSION OF NGROK (1.X) IN PRODUCTION**. Both the client and server are known to have serious reliability issues including memory and file descriptor leaks as well as crashes. There is also no HA story as the server is a SPOF. You are advised to run 2.0 for any production quality system.
