I am not asking this 'how to' as if its possible or as if a problem has developed. Many of the similar questions are looking for a solution or a way to extend it.
My question is more practical in nature. Either I don't know what I am searching for so I am not getting the Google hits or yeah I guess I don't know what I am searching for.
I search for reverse proxy and I get a ton of pages but most are above my head or about web servers and load balancing.
Facts: I have an account with ipage.com with two domain names that belong to me.
I have a NAS at home (running Windows but I could use the WLS if I can be pointed to specific instructions) that I have setup a reverse proxy with using no-ip.com so when out and about I can log into my computer at home (without using ssh - for some reason ssh and my head don't mix)
I have to confirm the no-ip names monthly and after two years its becoming a drag. Now no-ip are moving to a subscription model so I need to use my domain name as I have already paid for that.
I would like to use my account at ipage.com to setup the reverse proxy but I cannot as the only thing I am allowed to do is ftp and sub domain . I am not allowed to run ssh or even install any application.
Next year I am moving to a vps but that is some 9 months away.
Is there a web page that gives me a step by step procedure so that I can setup a sub domain at ipage that connects to my pc at home?
the domain name at ipage is companeros.com.
My server at home is called hpz800 (very original) so
hpz800.companeros.com
How can I setup hpz800.companeros.com to link to my HPZ800 at home? or is there a software that can do it? (I don't have static ip at home)
This question nearly worked but he has a static ip address and CentOS Pointing my domain name to my home PC
This guy knew what he was doing. Where do I setup the virtual host and what will it point to? ipage wont let me setup a virtual host unless I point it to a folder Reverse Proxy for domain-name
This q Nginx reverse proxy returns incorrect url also knew what he was doing and I get the whole process apart from the second reverse proxy ubuntu - I don't understand the function of that and I don't know how to get to where he was. ]1
I have already setup a Nginx web server at home and it works. I have it on both WLS and windows.
The solution has to replicate the no-ip solution where I type a web address and I login to my NAS. No ssh as most public pc will not allow it.
Is there a software I can install that will translate my hpz800.companeros.com to my ip at home (noting that that ip address changes daily)
I have Cyberghost on all my devices but I don't know how that helps. I won't have cyberghost (vpn) on the pc outside my firewall.
The solution has to be able to translate my web address to my pc at home using say chrome or IE.
ssh -D
to socks proxy from your pc to home, through your server.
