How to hook up ngrok to browser-sync?

Good day! Can you tell me how to tie ngrok to browser-sync? I use Browser sync in gulp builder. The task is that when you run gulp, ngrok is responsible for tunneling and the server. To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how to end this. It is quite possible that my question is incomplete and will be deleted again due to "too general wording". If not, then I will be very grateful to someone who can help me with this problem.

I found a solution)
that's what I did for osx
1) Download the ngrok archive
2) throw the binary into applications and make a symlink

cd /usr/local/bin 
# create symlink 
ln -s /Applications/ngrok ngrok

3) check the work
, run the test
one, it has its own console - 127.0.0.1:4040
can be run with parameters from the file, it should be here
4) Install ngrok from npm
and configure gulp
Here is a piece from gulpfile
.....
var  ngrok = require('ngrok'), //замена localtunnel, inspector => http://127.0.0.1:4040 
.....
var config = {
    server: {
        baseDir: "./build"
    },
    //tunnel: true,
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 1984,
    directoryListing: true,
    logPrefix: ''
};

gulp.task('webserver', function () {
    //browserSync(config);
    browserSync(config, function (err, bs) {
       ngrok.connect({
                proto: 'http', // http|tcp|tls 
                addr: bs.options.get('port'), // port or network address 
            }, function (err, url) { 
                gutil.log('[ngrok]', ' => ', gutil.colors.magenta.underline(url));
            });         
    });         
});

Thank you! Only 2 points
if you run ngrok http 8080 then
you need to specify port 8080 in the galp config.
Plus the line gutil.colors.magenta.underline(url) swears had to be deleted)
