Webserver behind NAT
I want to host a (kind of) webserver on the local network, but since I can't control the router that does NAT, I can't do it in a regular way.
So I'm looking for some service/proxy/whatever that can accept a incoming connection (since I can make outgoing connections locally) keep that socket open and forward the incoming http requests trough that socket
Something alike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_hole_punching but then for HTTP
I know its far from ideal but I want to access the information from a local database over the internet (without changes to the NAT as thats out of reach)
VPN could be an option (my to be webserver is a raspberry pi) but are there any public vpn endpoints on the web (the opposite as what you normally would do)?
