yes, you can configure a tcp tunnel for a direct connection to a server from games, or use http tunnels to use a utility service server as a website without port forwarding
here is a quick guide I use when i forget, on how multiple tunnels can be opened on one account for free: - https://medium.com/@singhgautam7/ngrok-make-full-use-of-free-tier-version-to-expose-your-localhost-to-the-internet-1160e652d794
Sorry, i really should have been more specific. I would like to make my torrent client connectable using ngrok, but not sure if there is a torrent client that would make this possible. Thanks for the link though it is still useful!
Alright, my bad didn't read through entirely, so you can use qbittorrent for this, and qbittorrent-nox on linux.
You enable the remote web access (called Web UI in settings for the gui version and enabled by default in qbit nox on linux) for qbittorrent and it runs on port 8080 by default. You can then use ngrok to make a http tunnel to localhost:8080 and you're good to go.
Sorry, i think you read it right the first time, i just edited it since. (I will probably have to edit it again though 😅) What im trying to do is announce my adress to the tracker as the ngrok ip, so that people can reach me through that to download.
