How to use ngrok with local

[Blylier]

Issue Summary

I am developing a mobile backend using wp-rest-api and I need to test my wp rest api endpoints on my mobile device using local. How can I do this since live links requires a username & password? i use oauth 2 for authentication to the rest api, so there is no way, using local, to hit my rest api from my device. Is there a way to use ngrok with local? Could anyone point me to a resource for how to do that?
