Hello all! I’ve been getting into self-hosting stuff and ran into an issue with port forwarding my services to the internet. I don’t have access to my router’s config (provided by ISP), so I researched tunnels and there is ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel and other more well-known reverse proxy services, but I also stumbled upon loophole.cloud. I can’t find more information about it except a few Reddit comments here and there. Has anyone here actually used it and can say a few words about it?

    Thank you, you brought up a good point about them selling data. What alternatives do you suggest to expose my service to the internet for personal use away from home?

      I’d recommend finding a cheap VPS using https://lowendbox.com/. I got a 3GB RAM 3 core plan for $32/year this is slightly overkill, prpbably, but it also had higher bandwidth limits. Add wireguard and setup routing for the vps public IP.
