Current, most up-to-date guide on creating a VPS tunnel. (lemmygrad.ml)

I know that I can use 3rd party services to set up a tunnel, like Cloudflare, but I'd like to implement this myself.

I feel like every time I research this question I find all kinds of blogs / form posts across the timescape on the topic, and I'm just looking for whatever might be the most current or recommended best method of configuring a VPS tunnel. I'm behind a CG-Nat which is why I want to set one up.

If you've done this recently yourself, where did you get your info from?

Thanks!

There isn't a guide yet that I've found. I slowly & painfully assembled all the info and beat my head against the task until I had something working & stable.

I'm currently building a comprehensive one, but due to circumstances beyond my control, it's taking forever.

I think civilization just hasn't gotten there yet, but I suspect I'm not the only one working on this, so I bet the reverse proxy tunnel HOWTO situation will be way better in a year or two..

FWIW I use nginx on the front end, and rathole for my tunnels - the latter is a very straightforward way to set up the tunnels.
