It works for me through the tor network.  Are you using google
nameservers?  They sometimes mess with ngrok addresses.   You tube does
too.  You have to use a tinurl to get them to work off YouTube.

Sounds like you have issues with the distro that shall not be named.  ;-)
 I don't even hate gnome that much!  lol...

I always have to mess with the default resolution & fonts in grub.   Not
only for my eyes (the fonts) but I use an hdmi tv- an older one, for my
monitor, and distros tend to make the console too big to fit on the screen
for some reason.  But  I struggle through it and set it manually and
everything's good.
