    Nice guide. It fails to mention that the full form of the reverse port forward allows a remote bind address:

        ssh -R [bind-address:[remote-port]:][hostname]:[port] [user]@[remote-host]
    
    Not specifying a bind address binds to all. Using localhost limits exposure.

    And repeated use of -R ... for multiple reverse port forwards (might not have been mentioned, I didn't see it).

    They don't mention how pinggy does what it does, and I'd be very cautious to use closed 3rd party binary for such a security needed tool. Edit: There's a FAQ https://pinggy.io/help/#faq

    It will be nice to compare and contrast it to VPNs.

    great guide on SSH reverse tunneling, and the setup instructions for various operating systems are a fantastic addition
