Looks convenient. I assume multiple servers share the same IP(s) on different non-default ports? I don’t see any info on how this works on the site.

I can’t imagine providing a free unique static IPv4 for 4000+ active servers would be a sustainable business model. IPv6 of course would be fine, if residential ISPs ever leave the Stone Age. (Looking at you, Bell Canada)

Yes, I'm assigning a random port to each tunnel. I have been considering purchasing an IP space to offer a premium version but it's hard to make the numbers work at my current scale.

Minecraft is quite nice as it supports SRV records so the provided tunnel address doesn't need to show the port number. For other games you'll notice you have the non standard port.

Oh that's nifty!

Careful with this, as some Java versions on some Linux distributions (such as Java 11 on Ubuntu/Arch) does not work
