hellow,

i wanna host things (nextcloud, bin, syncthing) myself but im under cg nat so i cant do it the regular way. i have to tunnel my way out. the only concern is that, the raw data is readable by the ssh server (ie. serveo/localhost.run), but i dont anyone elses eyes on my data

sorry for my broken english.

edit:

please clarify me.

if i setup a vpn which provides encryption on my local server, can i go like this

    thanks for both answers. the second option, one i cant afford.

    i did some research, the first the answer is partilly correct ig. for example syncthing offers password protection (https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html) and for the bin, it provides client side encryption (https://github.com/HemmeligOrg/Hemmelig.app?tab=readme-ov-file#features) which will protect me even over plain http connection ig. please correct me if im wrong

    these are product specific feature, so generally, as you said, no is the answer ig. i wish nextcloud offers something like. thanks again

      I just saw your second diagram. If all you’re worried about is serveo being able to see, you could do all your http server stuff with https and require ECH on the client side and you’d be okay?

      I’m not 100% that would work perfectly, especially if DNS is involved, but I don’t think serveo messes with DNS.
