I live in a country where wireguard, openvpn and other vpn protocols have been blocked. Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels don’t wok either. I do have a public ip and my router supports DMZ and port forwarding. For security concerns I’m not willing to forward ports. Is there any other method to use my VPS to forward traffic to my home server?

Does ssh works? If yes, you can use autossh to create persistent ssh tunnel to your VPS.

Yeah SSH still works. Thanks for the suggestion.

autossh

That’s what I’ve been doing for the last 7 months. Works perfectly !
