- sharikous 3y agoMost routers can do port forwarding to a different local port
- sverhagen 3y agoThere's presumably no router in this setup.
- contravariant 3y agoThere would be in a setup using DynDNS, unless you want to redirect people to a closed firewall.
- LinuxBender 3y agoSSH is doing the port forwarding and Pinggy is just acting like a VPS node so one could just change the port forwarding and/or have NGinx/HAProxy/Apache on the VM could listen on 443 and the Android can listen on any port. Added bonus, the web server could cache the static content to avoid the earth shattering kaboom. VM's are not free but neither is Pinggy.
