I've used hostus and alpharacks for multiple years at that price range.
Alpharacks is super spammy and IMO a bit shady. Do not give them an email address that isn't specific to them.

It seems to be using ssh to tunnel your http connection in the first place. So, if ssh is blocked in your network, this won't work.
That's not how networking works. Incoming connections are usually blocked which is what this is for. It punches a hole through your firewall by using an established ssh tunnel to forward traffic over. You don't need to allow incoming anything to use this service

If you are technically capable to set it up by yourself using OpenVPN, you can get a dirt cheap VPS with one IPv4 address for less than $1/month ($12/year). lowendtalk.com is a community that discusses these deals.
My experiences have been that these businesses generally disappear after a few months and leave you holding the bag, with a service disruption and data loss. Recommendations for any “low end box” that’s about $12 a year and not a fly by night scam would be appreciated.

On the other hand, I've been using Frantech/buyVM and the dirt cheap $2.50 VPS from vultr, and never faced any problems with them.
I know, some people have always-on computers, some people have low prices for electricity, some don't care about downtimes. But it all looks so fragile, too many "if".
If only there would be some layer to cover main instance outages...

I've used ramnode for 4 years with no problems. My usage is extremely light so I don't know what the performance is like.
This might actually be the future of running net-accessible stuff on your own devices, if the NAT-imposed unreachability continues to cement itself as the default expectation for people. Great that they have a free tier. Though I think you can do this same thing with many existing tunnel providers too, no?
