I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!
So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.
Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?
P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!
You can use frp to do the same thing a CloudFlare tunnel does without giving them your unencrypted data.

It's definitely not the same thing. I do understand reservations behind usage free-tier services from Big Bad Corp., but I don't understand malicious reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.
It literally does the same thing, except it's self hosted?

Just like I said - prevalent reduction of valid arguments for usage of those services.
