ngrok: tcp forwarding to 25565 (minecraft server)

One guess: your terminal window is a fixed width and it is cutting off the port number.

In particular when you include region, the hostname becomes 3 characters longer than the usual: x.tcp.xx.ngrok.io vs x.tcp.ngrok.io, which fits the fact that you are seeing a port number that is 3 digits shorter than usual.

To get the right address, you have a couple options:

  • Check your existing tunnel’s address would be to look at ngrok’s web inspection interface that runs at http://localhost:4040.
  • Check the ngrok web dashboard for online tunnels here: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/endpoints/status.

Port numbers for ngrok TCP addresses are always 5 digits.
