Portable Port Forwarding with PageKite

Here's how I got Pagekite(.py), a Virtual Port Forwarding tool to work.

First I'll start by showing how to configure "pagekite" to run from a python server we make locally on our host machine with the insecure flag set, which will later be secured and encrypted by "pagekite" itself instead of doing that ourselves. The following images are screenshots of the various configuration files with notations.

Now that "pagekite" is configured. We don't start it just yet. First we need a directory with our website files. Which I made earlier using Nifty

Now we need to start a local server to host the file. I'll use python to do this. python3.9 -m http.server --cgi --bind 0.0.0.0 --directory /home/${USER}/parchment-site/output/ 80

Nice. Now that the server is up and hosting our files (the website) we use "pagekite" to port forwards, host our site with "https" encryption. I have my "pagekit" command saved as a script file, just to make editing it easy and I can comment out working commands, to try new ones and not forget the ones that work. !/usr/bin/env bash ## Running in insecure mode/configuration and letting Pagekite.me's default backend (not configured in settings) to handle https automatically ## /usr/bin/pagekite http://exit1.pagekite.me:80 +indexes

So far, so good. Now for the moment of truth. Visit the link and see if it displays my site correctly.

Woohoo! Success! Lets try some other pages on the site.

Now the rest is up to your imagination, try different options and play around with it to see what else you can come up with. All in all, It's a pretty neat tool. Taking out all the (sometimes) complicated matter of port forwarding from the router, obsolete.

My favorite band as of late 2020. I can feel the anger the band and the singer convey through music. The way she moves and the deep growls as if she where possessed.
