Guides and tutorials

Step by step, for natbox servers: shared IPv4 with your own ports, and a routed /80 of IPv6. Use the port numbers from your server's Connect tab wherever a guide uses 10001.

Host a website with nginx and free HTTPS

Link your domain, install nginx and get a Let's Encrypt certificate.

Run a WireGuard VPN

A fast personal VPN on one of your forwarded UDP ports.

Run a Minecraft server

Java edition on your own port, started automatically with systemd.

Firewall your IPv6

Your /80 is reachable on every port. Close what you do not use with nftables or ufw.

Log in with SSH keys

Faster logins and no more password guessing bots.

Send email from your server

Mail ports are blocked. Use an email API or a relay on port 2525 instead.

Host a Discord bot 24/7

A Python or Node.js bot that restarts on crashes and reboots.

Automatic HTTPS with Caddy

A web server that gets and renews certificates by itself.

Stop SSH brute-force attacks

Block addresses that keep guessing passwords, with fail2ban.

Keep an app running with systemd

Run a Node.js, Python or Go app on your port, restart it on crashes and reboots.
