VPNs for Hosting?
Are there VPN services suitable for hosting a web server behind the VPN? Eg, a VPN which will provide a public IP and accept connections on ports 80 and 443? The intent is helping a friend setup a home web server that she does not want to be geolocatable due concerns over stalkers. I realize this is a niche use case.
How reliable does it need to be? A bare-minimum Linux VPS for a few bucks a month and an SSH reverse tunnel would give you "hide me" functionality and its (IMO) a much easier setup to debug if something isn't working. It's probably also got some resources to e.g run a proxy cache (and thus reduce the amount of traffic to traverse the weakest link: the tunnel), if that's at all helpful
