Been obsessing the past fews days on ssh tunnels. Ran a local service for over a week using ssh -R which was pretty cool. Also tried out autossh. Was using Caddy on a 2$ VPS, mostly just worked. I love the idea of being able pay so little for a gateway onto an old laptop with a huge hard drive running all kinds of awesome stuff and instantly share a new container I run with a friend for a few hours and then take it down when we’re done.
I haven’t look at the code for the link above, but I think I am going to build a self hosted solution in Go and WireGuard with a simple GUI.
edit: one other cool thing to note was not only was this service behind a firewall, it was also behind my mullvad desktop client on Linux. Will probably run WireGuard connection to the VPS in a container to avoid conflicts with commercial VPN.
