Thanks!
@cristiandan I was emailing to @inconshreveable and he said that's the issue on Facebook's side, and Facebook Bug Report said it's not them.
I would put my money on Facebook's fault. I am thinking of doing some workaround, but no, nothing got resolved.
This issue is still pending. It appears that Facebook has ruled out the issue from their side. @PeterBocan is it possible to re-open this again? I was able to confirm that with an alternative tool (https://localtunnel.github.io/www/) that this works as expected.
Here are the threads that I found:

Hello, We are now a year older but the issue still seams to exist. At least I got it. Is there any solution?
Switched to localtunnel after reading this, sharing debugger works hassle-free. Plus it has nice urls! Feels a tad bit slower than ngrok though.
Ngrok on a custom domain did the trick for me! https://ngrok.com/docs#custom-domains
Too bad Custom Domains is a paid feature, barring the vast majority of developers from even testing
@pomartel Custom domain didn't work for me, neither with the (default) US region nor EU region. Would you consider giving this "fix" another try? Your advice might lead people to subscribing to a paid service for nothing.
Well I'm using ngrok on a custom domain every day and it works great! It works with Facebook crawler too. Just take a look at it here:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.app.ps%2Ftest-poll
Oh... custom domains and not custom subdomains (which I'm using). Silly me. Thank you for double-checking and sorry for the interruption.
No. By the list of ngrok open issues I see, I judge that no one really cares about this project whatsoever.
That's a bummer, @PeterBocan did you find an alternative solution? Localtunnel has issues that I can't solve.
@LeHoangLong I have a custom domain and it's still not working for me. I'm running
ngrok http 3000 -subdomain=<my-subdomain>.
Did you have to do anything different?

You have to be a pro user and purchase a domain name for this. Note that it does not work if you are planning to have your app reviewed by Facebook. For some reason, the reviewer weren't able to access my website even though others can. So i ended up have to use a gcloud vm instance. But for development a custom domain (not subdomain) is sufficient
hello from 2020 - localtunnel's back up domain works for this. Just run:
lt -h "https://serverless.social" -p PORT
Hello from 2021!
Any news from this? I was just trying to check my OpenGraph and Facebook doesn't allow the domains generated by localtunnel anymore. This code right here lt -h "https://serverless.social" -p PORT does not return me anything on the terminal. Help(?)
Thank you for opening this issue! As of April 2016, the ngrok service has permanently moved to https://ngrok.com/. To join the community and file bug reports or feature enhancements for the ngrok agent, please go to https://github.com/ngrok/ngrok.
This repository is no longer actively maintained and will be archived soon to reduce confusion with the latest ngrok versions. We thank you for the continued support of ngrok and look forward to seeing you over at ngrok.com and the ngrok Community Repo.
