I keep a VPS running with Nginx on it for a specific port. Then I forward that port via SSH using remote forwarding to enable this exact functionality. It's free if you've already got a server running.

ngrok is free even if you don't have a server running... and you can tunnel raw TCP.

(not affiliated, I just really admire ngrok so I take it personally when people don't use it :))

god, I had this same idea and thought about making it! I'm so glad you shared this, I had no idea someone else already did it! and did a great job with it, too, by the looks of it
