Few options:
  1. use (free) dynamic DNS services like https://www.duckdns.org/ to get a domain that always points to your router even if your IP address changes and then use port forwarding on router
  2. use VPN tunnel to a server you own
  3. or just deploy phoenixd on that server
  4. wrap phoenixd with NWC and use NWC instead (not sure if this exists yet)
I am using the third option right now.

That's great to know you are using phoenixd, and thanks for sharing all these options. I think this step of port-forwarding/tunneling is a major blocker for people aiming to run a node. I know for example that Start9 is working on it, finding a way to automate the process somehow. I did not have checked lately, maybe someone else can confirm.

NWC is the solution imo
Or I might look into if I want to maintain a service like ngrok for stackers only

That's sound exiting! running ngrok on a private SN instance?
