I'm curious why the requirement was to not port forward? Seems like the author values the independence of self hosted stuff and port forwarding is a pretty common solution.
- ravi-delia 5y agoThe server will be on campus internet, so they can't forward anything.
- intrepidhero 5y agoRight. Thanks. I was distracted by a coworker and should have read more carefully.

- shadowgovt 5y agoThis is one of those interesting major differences between institutions of higher learning that often goes unremarked: some universities (generally the Internet first-adopters) have entire IPv4 subnets and don't firewall machines on their networks. A machine connected to their networks is just publicly accessible by IP address.
