I've moved away from ubiquiti edge routers 😊 I'm using their "dream machine" now and don't want to publicize my IP anymore (reverse tunnel is way better😬)

interesting. Do you have any tutorials you can point me towards?

Yes, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmE28_BA83w or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4pnGyvj2sM or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8yOmTJNYQ - all very good channels, Techno Tim (that last one) probably explains things more in depth
