Are public urls VPS safe to use?
by DorianZ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F30M)
hello all
I'm new to doing server stuff with linux. I've always used linux exclusively for desktop usage.
I bought a raspberry pi zero w and I want to do ssh tunneling from outside my home.
Doing my research, I found these two websites ngrok.com and localhost.run. Both offer public urls without the the need to mess with our router's port forwarding.
Both of these sites offer free public urls to access to our devices running a service like ssh, vnc, plex, etc.
Is this safe? Has anyone used these services or others that are free or paid?
Thanks
