opening any port on your firewall/edge router would make your IP open to
probes tho, and you'd have to be sure the host you expose is secure so
that other systems on your internal net isn't at risk. I guess you could
place your host and guest on a separate vlan and place that into the DMZ
with rules to allow internal to DMZ access to limit exposure.
Also make sure your router/firewall passwords are strong and not
manageable from the DMZ. Dynamic DNS would mean you don't have to acquire
a fixed external IP so you can then access via a DNS name rather than IP
too.
Alternatively, make access via VPN only possibly with some of the above
and not expose any open ports so you stay as invisible as possible on the
web side...

electric cost of a pi is peanuts.
cloud would cost you orders of magnitude more.

Dan, it is easy peasy, but not quite free, as if you want 24/7 access to
the box, you have to keep the system running 24-7, so electricity costs.
Plus, I’m >planning on having others log in as well, thus I don’t want
to open up my network like that. That’s why I’m looking for a free
hosted/Cloud solution. >That way someone else can deal with the rest of

Subject: Re: [Simh] C9.ioWell, running from inside a house and making

Mainly what’s needed for what we both want to be able to do isn’t
really a shell account on a shared machine, but literally a dedicated
VM instance, >>but we need to be able to access that instance through a

On a home network, a private IP Address (192.168.x.x, 172.x.x.x
‘actually I don’t think it’s the whole 172 network’, or a 10.x.x.x)
it’s easy enough to >>setup port forwarding to make it accessible. But
on the Cloud based VM’s, I don’t know if there is a way to do it. Well,
I know there ARE ways, >>usually involves paying for the instance, an
external address, and possibly the amount of traffic.
Actually, I know Bluehost (is it still a thing?) used to give you a VM
with public address in combination with their hosting/domain name
service. >>But I’m hoping to find one that will not cost me anything.

An example might be better. Say I setup an HP system running
