Ngrok errors '502 bad gateway'

Question

Quite new to using any sort of Web App stuff, and I've been trying to slowly build a Facebook Messenger Bot. When I try to use ngrok I can't visit the address I'm given, i.e:

ngrok http 5000

is what I'm putting in the command line, and it's returning this:

ngrok by @inconshreveable

But when I take the address 'https://ea986ca5.ngrok.io' as is required by the Facebook developer's page, it says:

The connection to http://ea986ca5.ngrok.io was successfully tunneled to your
ngrok client, but the client failed to establish a connection to the local  
address localhost:5000.


Make sure that a web service is running on localhost:5000 and that it is a 
valid address.


The error encountered was: dial tcp [::1]:5000: connectex: No connection 
could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Is it a problem with my local port? Thanks!

This worked for me

ngrok.exe http -host-header=rewrite localhost:

e.g ngrok.exe http -host-header=rewrite localhost:5219

Im using visual studio 2017 dont know if it effects anthing.
