Similar here. Just a Digital Ocean droplet running Pangolin. Functions basically the same as the cloudflare tunnel it replaced.
Can expose the service directly if needed, or from behind a login page.
The basic 4 dolars one? Or something extra?
Pangolin officially says on their site :
I've got a 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB Disk droplet for $6/mo and have no issues for my limited home use. Updates don't really take a noticeably long time or anything, it takes maybe 45 seconds to fully bring up the docker container again after an update. But it runs just fine.
