Ngrok tunelling Github Action

This is a Github Action that can be used in your Github Workflow to tunnel incoming/outgoing TCP traffic in your workflow environment.

The original use case for this was to achieve temporary deployment for CTF challenges under development but it can be as well used in many more other cases.

Name	Description	Required	Default

port	The port in localhost to forward traffic from/to	Yes	-
ngrok_authtoken	Your ngrok authtoken	Yes	-
