  • How to forward ports via VPS & VPN
    2 projects | /r/Starlink | 19 Sep 2022
    So in the end, for those interested with the same issue (How to forward ports behind the Starlink CGNAT), all the VPN providers I tried were bad (the IP they allow to open weren't working well, or they only provide dynamic IPs), so in the end I : 1/ bought a small router on Amazon, the GL-MT1300 (by GL-iNet) but their smaller routers should work too: https://www.amazon.fr/GL-iNet-GL-MT1300-Wireless-Pocket-Sized-Repeater/dp/B08MKZXGBY?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp 2/ installed AstroRelay on it (followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RkMeO4kDg ): https://astrorelay.com And that's it, all my local services work like a charm and are accessible outside. I didn't have to roll up my sleeve to setup a VPS or to setup reverse SSH tunnel. As an alternative to AstroRelay I could have used these services but they seemed a bit more complex to install or use: - https://ngrok.com/ - https://expose.dev/ - https://localxpose.io/ - https://tunnelto.dev/ - https://www.zerotier.com/
