For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I’ve scoured the internet and didn’t find a complete guide.

Hey, great post. I have one request. Can you maybe add some description for what the iptables entries do? I have a similar setup with a lot less iptables rules that works well for me. But I’m not an expert in networking, and am now worried that I might be missing something that can leak my home IP.
Thanks for the nice write-up, saving it in case I find myself behind CGNAT in the future.
another option is to use Cloudflare’s tunnels. it’s free, I use it all the time. really great.
I’ve set up some tunnels. Works nice but then the voices came. ‘Why would you trust a company like Cloudflare with all your data?’ ‘Why rely on this one company for all your services?’
Nearly a year into my selfhosting journey and I’m more confused than ever.
Yeah it’s a popular choice for various things. But wouldn’t it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?
gotta admit I haven’t read the ToS, but I didn’t encounter any problems. I’m streaming GBs of music via the tunnel and it still works. p2p I didn’t try, but I don’t really see a reason to?
