Way to Start Multiple Tunnels Simultaneously

[anthonygualandri]

I'm getting an error in the extension when I try and start a tunnel when another tunnel is running. Is there a way to start multiple tunnels at once with the extension?

Hmm, I am able to start multiple tunnels, see the screenshot below:

Do you have an ngrok account and have you set the authtoken in your ngrok config (which you can do through the plugin too)?

Thanks for the response! So in the ngrok.yml file settings I do have the authtoken set. Am I supposed to set the multiple tunnels in that one file? I'm running the extension is a Github Codespaces environment and am trying to use one tunnel in one codespace environment and one in another env. They are basically virtual envs that you spin up on their own Github hosted machine that lets you maintain a cloud like hosted env for easy access anywhere and cloud managed packages, etc. So I was attempting to start up each tunnel via a totally separarte ngrok.yml settings file for each. Maybe that's the issue? Though I am using different tunnel and local port info for each instances.

So you’re trying to start two separate ngrok processes, but the ngrok pricing page says that free and basic accounts can only run one process at a time.

So, to run two instances of ngrok in your two Codespaces you’ll either need to upgrade to pro (or maybe open two ngrok accounts?).

This isn’t something I can control within this plugin though, I’m afraid.

Hey @anthonygualandri, did my last comment answer your question?
