Cloudflare Tunnel Alternatives (piefed.social)

I am currently self hosting multiple services with Docker containers. A file server, Kiwix with Wikipedia and a PieFed instance sitting behind a Caddy reverse proxy. The PieFed instance is not federated and is more acting like a forum which is meant for a local community within a city. If I do federate in the future, it would be to whitelisted instances from within my physical local community. I am also hosting from behind a Cloudflare Tunnel since my ISP blocks incoming data on lower ports.

I was hesitant to use Cloudflare originally but decided to use it since it was the most suggested recommendation. Now that America and American companies are losing trust world wide, I'd like to explore some other options for tunneling.

Since what I am hosting isn't really meant for a large user base, I am okay with losing some of the security offered by Cloudflare's free tier services. I'll probably look into setting up Fail2Ban and rate limiting to stop a single petty person but that would be something I can do at a later time.

What would be some options to look into when it comes to tunneling behind an ISP with blocked lower ports?

Rent any low cost vps and setup wireguard tunnel or ssh tunnel to it with port forward, done.

Check https://wiki.gardiol.org/ where I detail my setup which is exactly this.

This page https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Aexternal_access is a good starting point
