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.

    Hmm, I’m going to give this a try on my Synology since I get a free ddns address.

    Edit: It works, although the DSM login page didn’t load. But, it takes forever to load on my LAN, and I didn’t want to leave it enabled for too long.
