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/
