Detect ngrok from Rails

Question

I am using ngrok in order to test my Rails application integration with PayPal.

Since my application works with subdomains, I would like to detect when call is made from ngrok so I can apply a different behaviour.

Is there any way to configure ngrok to pass some information so I can detect the call comes from there? Or any other way to know that ngrok stands behind the call?

Within your controller, you could check the request.host, which would have something related to ngrok somewhere there.

Or look at this older SO question which uses a route constraint.
