Just looked it up, this looks like a tool to let you and your friends create a “private internet” using a VPN. Which is cool (I could see a bunch of uses for this, like SSHing into my home computer while I’m on the go), but I’m talking about the ability to expose a device on your home network to the public internet.

- Uehreka 5y agoYeah, but the public proxy is exactly the thing I’m trying to avoid. If we’re talking about hosting a static site like your personal portfolio, then once you put a proxy in front of it, you might as well just host the site where you’re hosting the proxy. My complaint is that there’s no way to host a website from home without either paying for a cloud VM to proxy traffic or paying a company who uses a cloud VM to proxy traffic.
