"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."

Just to close the thread.
I got a VPS, Virtual Private Server. I already rent an external web server with hostpapa and adding this "feature" only cost me $3/month. It has a static ip and I use ssh -R to set up the tunnels for inbound traffic. It comes with a naked firewall, and I still need to do that. But so far it does what I need and I can get a standard residential plan and be good.
I've already been using systemd to maintain some ssh -R tunnels when I had my own ip. There are a few gotchas, but I have a couple of years of experience with that and it is pretty settled now. I'll just transfer that config to the new VPS.
