Possession of an IPv6 address does not automatically imply that your ISP allows incoming connection to your ports.
port blocking is a whole other problem.
I'm referring to the rapidly growing number of people behind CGNAT.

#43I'll try to use this for SSH. What's the best way to embed an SSH session inside of HTTP requests?
Running SSH as a Tor service might be easier if you're confident in the security of your SSH setup. (Key authentication is highly recommended for any public-facing SSH setup.)

#44So its ngrok with a prettier website. Neat.

#45Looks like a service many people could use -- I wish you the best of luck in your business endeavor!
One thing I'd like to see though is an "About Us" page, if you're a company; or maybe a link to your LinkedIn profile if you're an individual...
Reason: I'd like to know more about the company or person that I'd be dealing with before establishing a business relationship... I'm sure I'm not alone, either.
Anyway, best of luck with your venture!

Alpharacks is super spammy and IMO a bit shady. Do not give them an email address that isn't specific to them.
Agreed. Also, Alpharacks has regularly shut down servers of mine and had to give me new VPSes with 100% data loss on the previous servers.
Its a GreenValueHost repeat :c

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.
Well, the one I have since several years for $8/year was a temporary offer.
But if you pick an ISP that has been around for a couple of years with decent reviews on that forum you should be ok. If you wait for a sale (like black Friday) you will have plenty of offers.

#48Looking through the https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/punch/blob/master/tunnel... seems to indicate it is just using a ssh connection between your box and their server and then forwarding traffic through that ssh connection. If ssh is blocked by your IT admin, this will not work. In that sense this isn't doing any holepunching. In a more traditional definition of holepunching it meant to establish connection betwee…
Author here. You're right. The project is still in beta - so we're still working on ironing out some of the kinks. The host key verification issue is being worked on today actually. I'm not sure what you mean by "bootstrapping the chain of trust with pre-verified credentials" though. If you want to open an issue on https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/holepunch we'd love to get your feedback about how we can improve security prior to a general release.
