+## ngrok
+
+mc-router has built-in support to run as an [ngrok agent](https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/ngrok-agent/). To enable this support, pass [an ngrok authtoken](https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/ngrok-agent/tunnel-authtokens/#per-agent-authtokens) to the command-line argument or environment variable, [shown above](#usage).
+
+### Ngrok Quick Start
+
+Create/access an ngrok account and [allocate an agent authtoken from the dashboard](https://dashboard.ngrok.com/tunnels/authtokens).
+
+In a new directory, create a file called `.env` with the allocated token
+
+```dotenv
+NGROK_TOKEN=...
+```
+
+In the same directory, create the following compose file:
+
+```yaml
+version: "3.8"
+
+services:
+  mc:
+    image: itzg/minecraft-server
+    environment:
+      EULA: true
+    volumes:
+      - mc-data:/data
+    # No port mapping since mc-router connects over compose network
+  router:
+    image: itzg/mc-router
+    environment:
+      DEFAULT: mc:25565
+      NGROK_TOKEN: ${NGROK_TOKEN}
+    # No port mapping needed since it routes through ngrok tunnel
+
+volumes:
+  mc-data: {}
+```
+
+Start the compose project:
+
+```shell
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Grab the mc-router logs using:
+
+```shell
+docker compose logs router
+```
+
+From those logs, locate the `ngrokUrl` parameter from the "Listening" info log message, such as `tcp://8.tcp.ngrok.io:99999`.
+
+In the Minecraft client, the server address will be the part after the "tcp://" prefix, such as `8.tcp.ngrok.io:99999`.
