  • frp

    A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.

  • My setup to do the same:

    - small Hetzner instance

    - my domain's dns pointing to that instance

    - frps[1] running on that instance

    - frpc running on my local machine and connected to the cloud frps
