https://zerotier.com does a very nice job of NAT "bouncing", free (hosted) for up to 50 hosts, or you can run your own. You end up with another "zt" interface, so you can apply firewall rules to that interfac

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially with cron by downloading the RSS feeds with curl, parsing the XML with jq, and then using SVN or CVS on the final text.
