+description: Learn about ngrok's secure tunnel agent for exposing local services, connecting devices, and creating secure remote access.
+---
+
+The ngrok agent is a lightweight command-line program that creates secure tunnels from ngrok's global network to your local services, devices, and applications.
+It enables you to expose services behind firewalls and NATs, connect remote devices, and create secure site-to-site connectivity without complex network configuration.
+
+- It runs as a standalone executable with zero runtime dependencies on all major operating systems.
+- It supports HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and TLS protocols for any application or service.
+- You can run multiple endpoints simultaneously and manage them via configuration files or the CLI.
+- It installs as a native OS service for automatic startup, crash recovery, and background operation.
+
+## Concepts
+
+Here are the core elements you should familiarize yourself with to make the most of ngrok's secure tunnels:

+	<Card title="Agent CLI" href="/agent/cli/" horizontal>
+		Use the command line to start endpoints, manage configuration, and interact with the ngrok API.
+	</Card>
+	<Card title="Configuration File" href="/agent/config/" horizontal>
+		Define multiple endpoints, run multiple tunnels simultaneously, and manage complex tunnel configurations with YAML.
+	</Card>
+	<Card title="Authtokens" href="/agent/#authtokens" horizontal>
+		Authenticate your agent with ngrok and create endpoints using credentials scoped to your account.
+	</Card>
+	<Card title="TLS Termination" href="/agent/agent-tls-termination/" horizontal>
+		Secure traffic with end-to-end encryption by terminating TLS at the agent.

+
+## Features
+
+Here are the primary capabilities of ngrok's secure tunnel agent:
+
+- [Support for multiple protocols](/agent/) - Create HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and TLS endpoints for any application or service.
+- [Background service](/agent/#running-ngrok-in-the-background) - Install as a native OS service with automatic startup and crash recovery.
+- [Remote management](/agent/#remote-management) - Stop, restart, or upgrade agents remotely via API or dashboard.
+- [Custom connect URLs](/agent/connect-url/) - Brand your agent connections with custom domains for white-label deployments.
+- [API integration](/agent/cli-api/) - Built-in CLI for the ngrok API to manage endpoints, domains, and resources programmatically.
+
