By default, just setting the `--ngrok` flag will use a randomly generated subdomain. If you have a paid for ngrok account, you can customise this experience. + +##### Custom ngrok subdomain + +Run the following command: + +``` +twilio-run --ngrok=subdomain +``` + +This will start the `twilio-run` server and also tunnel to it over ngrok via the domain `subdomain.ngrok.io`. + +##### Custom ngrok config + +You can create an [ngrok config file](https://ngrok.com/docs#config-location) which allows you to name tunnels and include other settings for those named tunnels, such as the subdomain, auth, or host headers. + +You can choose to run a named tunnel with `twilio-run` by passing the `--ngrok-name` flag. This will find the named tunnel in your default config, over-ride the `proto` to http and the `addr` to the port your Twilio Functions are running on, otherwise keeping the rest of the settings. + +You can also choose to use a different config file by setting the `--ngrok-config` flag. + ### `twilio-run deploy` Deploys your project to Twilio. It will read dependencies automatically from your `package.json`'s `dependencies` field and install them. It will also upload and set the variables that are specified in your `.env` file. You can point it against a different `.env` file via command-line flags.
