Request::secure() relies on $_SERVER['HTTPS']. As the HTTPS is being provided by the proxy, not your webserver, Laravel doesn't know it's being served as HTTPS.

ngrok does pass the X-Forwarded-Proto header, but Laravel doesn't trust it by default. You can use the trusted proxy middleware to trust it.
