    Error using Ngrok to access Bi

    So use Ngrok to access Bi first time I have seen this error? Maybe just speed issue because of my location? I haven't used connection since last Bi update. I am on 5.9.9.25 really only reason I connected today is to make sure connection was still correct. Normally just connect to NVRs or DVRs.
