I’m able to use my VPN to distribute files via Soulseek/Nicotine+. Can I do this with its IP and port forwarding so people can connect to a website hosted on my machine from the internet?

I’m imagining they’d be able to connect with the basic IP:port address, but I’m really not even sure if it’s possible.

I’m looking into using NGINX for this. If something else is more appropriate, I’d love to know.

    If you setup a Tailscale and an NGINX reverse proxy or a port forward on a VPS, you can definitely have people connect via the VPS IP to reach your home server.
