Once you have an SSH server installed, you will need to first disable password-based authentication (this is very important—even if you think you have a strong password, there are bots all over the internet just waiting for the chance).<p>Then set up port forwarding on your router. To do this, go to your router settings and:<p>1. Set up a DHCP reservation for the server. This should be easy enough, but depending on your router you might have to look up the server&#x27;s MAC address and set it manually.<p>2. Set up a port forwarding connection from the router settings. The internal IP should be the one you just reserved, port 22, and the external port should be pretty much anything but 22; I recommend choosing a random number from 10000 to 65535.<p>3. Now you can use it anywhere! Look up your public IP (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;duckduckgo.com&#x2F;?q=what+is+my+ip&amp;ia=answer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;duckduckgo.com&#x2F;?q=what+is+my+ip&amp;ia=answer</a>) from your home network, and SSH into it like this:<p><pre><code>    ssh &lt;username&gt;@&lt;public ip&gt; -p &lt;external port&gt;
</code></pre>
Last thing you need to do is set up the server with whatever stuff you want—gitlab or gogs for a github replacement, or anything really.<p>You can then access port 80 of the server securely with<p><pre><code>    ssh &lt;username&gt;@&lt;public ip&gt; -p &lt;external port&gt; -L &lt;some port&gt;:localhost:80
</code></pre>
and go to localhost:&lt;some port&gt;&#x2F; in your browser while that session is open. Don&#x27;t forward port 80 to another external port on your router because it will all go over the internet (not just your home network) in plain text.
