  server_name chan.mylocaltunnel.com;
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://<remote_server>:80;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;

• server_name chan.mylocaltunnel.com;
• proxy_pass http://<remote_server_ip>:80; // 80, 81, 82 is in this case is -R 80,81,82… ssh -R 80:localhost:3000 user@<remote_server_ip>

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/myserverconfig /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/myserverconfig

@quiquelhappy you could just use ssh reverse port forwarding

• setup your ubuntu server
• in /etc/ssh/sshd_config edit GatewayPorts no to GatewayPorts yes
• then sudo service sshd restart
• now use terminal to ssh reverse port forward by command ssh -R 80:localhost:3000 user@<remote_server_ip>
• now your localhost:3000 can be accessed from http://<remote_server_ip>:80 i.e public now
