Can't run multiple ngrok tunnels using config file

Question

I would like to run multiple Ngrok subdomains

I have created an ngrok.yml file

tunnels:
  teams:
    proto: http
    addr: 8000
    subdomain: expl
  jira:
    proto: http
    addr: 8080
    subdomain: expl2

Then I run ./ngrok start teams -config=ngrok.yml

I have a Basic plan I have already registres my authtoken.

But I get this message

Only paid plans may bind custom subdomains.

Failed to bind the custom subdomain 'explore' for an unauthenticated client. Sign up at: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup

If you have already signed up, make sure your authtoken is installed. Your authtoken is available on your dashboard: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/your-authtoken

ERR_NGROK_305

But I'm able to run a single subdomain tunnel using command : ./ngrok http -hostname=exple 3000, it works

Suggestion: Try https://pinggy.io , much simpler. – Bishakh Ghosh May 15 '23 at 06:03 — Bishakh Ghosh, May 15 '23 at 06:03

Can you double check that you have included your authtoken: <TOKEN> at the top of your new config? That would explain why the single command works (because it is using the original config with the authtoken) but the command pointing to a new config does not.

Config file ngrok.yml:

version: "2"
authtoken: *put your key here*
region: eu *#or what you want*
tunnels:
    web:
        proto: http
        addr: 80
        inspect: false
    tcp1:
        proto: tcp
        addr: 3306
    tcp2:
        proto: tcp
        addr: 4000

Works if you start with:

ngrok start --all --config ./ngrok.yml
