I know that I can use 3rd party services to set up a tunnel, like Cloudflare, but I’d like to implement this myself.

I feel like every time I research this question I find all kinds of blogs / form posts across the timescape on the topic, and I’m just looking for whatever might be the most current or recommended best method of configuring a VPS tunnel. I’m behind a CG-Nat which is why I want to set one up.

If you’ve done this recently yourself, where did you get your info from?

Thanks!

    I’m very slowly typing up a blog post on how I did it, but I had success tunneling my Plex through T-Mobile’s CGNAT by running this Docker container on my local machine and on a free (technically PAYGo using always-free services) Oracle Cloud account.

    Much like Cloudflare, this is for sending specific-port traffic through the tunnel.

      I saw this and I think it’s what I’m going to do too. I figure I can just configure it with my existing nginx information and go from there.
