My ISP doesn’t give a Public IP and let me open ports without paying a extra fee, which I cannot afford rn. I host all my services on a old PC, Anyways that i can access my services beyond my LAN?

Is that last one almost like a reverse proxy?

Yeah a reverse proxy would be a really easy way to do it. Assuming whatever your trying to expose will work with one.

But for traffic like a game server or something else that doesn’t use the traditional http protocol you could also setup the VPS as more of a router/NAT if you wanted.

Although that said I think NGINX can do a proxy stream that will work with most TCP/UDP connections no matter the protocol, I haven’t ever done it so I can’t say how universal that works.
