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!
