You'd have to pay for ngrok's premium plans to get that functionality. If you already own a domain, you can easily achieve the same -

• Install nginx on the server hosting your content https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-open-source/ This process changes based on your operating system. Make sure to start the nginx daemon after installation.

• Configure nginx Enter the sites-enabled directory (usually /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/) and edit the file named default

Paste the following

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  listen 443;
  listen [::]:443;
  client_max_body_size 100M;

  server_name <your_domain.com>;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:<your_port>;
  }

  proxy_redirect     off;
  # These are the critical headers needed by uvicorn to honor HTTPS in url_for :
  proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
 # These are just some other headers you may find useful
  proxy_set_header   Host $host;
  proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;

}

Replace <your_domain.com> with the name of your domain, and <your_port> with your localhost port number.

Restart the nginx daemon, and add an 'A' Record on your domain pointing to the Public IP Address of your web server.

When you visit <your_domain.com>, you'll see your localhost app being available to the outside internet.

You need a domain for this. It's cheaper than ngrok, you can buy them from websites like godaddy.com and namecheap.com.
