I'm trying to host a few docker services from my house, but my IP appears to be blocking port 80, so the only way to get a domain working that I've found is domainname.com:portnumber (I have port forwarding set up in my router, and can reach a wide range of ports, but not 80).

It looks like cloudflare will point sites to my IP but not ports, and because I can't reach port 80, I can't figure a way to route things through NGINX proxy manager on the same box.

Is there a free external service I can use as a reverse proxy to point requests to specific ports on my self-hosted box? Or else, is there another way to make my sites useable without the enduser having to specify ports?

Not an issue if one uses VPN for HTTPS traffic like in the blog post.

But I guess similarly one should be mindful about the VPN traffic too. The cloud provider would technically be able to sniff unencrypted traffic - like HTTP.
