It isnt the best one, but its cheap, allows port forwarding and its not sketchy as far as we know

Air vpn

I've been using it for probably 5+ years and it's been great. I wish I could port forward to incoming 80 in my server so I could run a site while it's up, but at the end of the day I can always run a site elsewhere.

That aside, it's never gone down on me, the speeds are fast, it auto-connects to the best server available, and they run lots of promos.

I'm wondering, is there any anonymous VPN that supports port forwarding to port 80? I'm thinking about self-hosting a website from my server at home under a VPN.

I haven't looked thoroughly because at the end of the day I have like ..another 2 years of airvpn credit and I'm happy enough with them that I could make a separate server for a website....maybe with the rock pi 5a I bought that I haven't touched. My current server is mostly for media and...uhh...sailing, as well as syncing devices (sync thing), running a telegram bot, etc. I could use the pi for more public stuff. And not use a VPN.

If you find a solution though, let me know!

You can port forward to another port without issue, then just route through to it from your server. Domain name lookups support explicit port lists. Although I'd suggest just buying a domain name, setting up dynamic dns through a raspberry pi and forward from your router to port 80. I use porkbun for the latter.
