In the simplest case, something like: ssh -R8000:127.0.0.1:80 my.vps.com This will forward all connections to http://my.vps.com:8000/ http://my.vps.com:8000/

In the simplest case, something like: ssh -R8000:127.0.0.1:80 my.vps.com This will forward all connections to http://my.vps.com:8000/ http://my.vps.com:8000/ to port 80 on your local machine. Adjust ports as necessary. Then you also have the VPS where you can actually host a copy of your app - but that's off-topic.
