Reminds me of this I stumbled across for ngrok:

> Can I run my own ngrok server? > Yes, kind of. You may license a dedicated installation of the ngrok server cluster for commercial use. You provide us with keys to an AWS account and we will install the server cluster software into that account

I have no idea how common this pattern is, but personally, the idea of giving someone else AWS creds that aren't _very_ locked down scares me.

I never understood the point of self-hosting ngrok. Isn't its entire value proposition that it lets you borrow a stable public IP to host something with when you don't have one of your own?
