ssh tunnels
Ssh tunnels to allow a public ip and port to inbound to a lan device. Not a full vpn. Limited to a single port.
Some providers block all inbound traffic that is unsolicited, on their network. Both ipv6 and ipv4. This also breaks ipv6. But, instead of using a full wireguard client which is much lighter than the extremely heavy protonvpn client, nevertheless it causes bsod. I would like to be able to simply use something like putty to get an inbound port opened to a local lan device. It does not have to be a fixed port number or ip. There would be some facility to report what the public ip and port is. The natpmpc currently only works in linux, when in combination with a vpn it is used to poll/detect/keep open the public port. It's a bit cumbersome, and as i said i have no interest in running the fully, heavy protonvpn client.

To clarify, i don't need all outbound traffic going through a heavy vpn client (proton), or a much lighter one that can be connected/disconnected up to 5 times, before windows 11 throws a fit and reboots. Tbc the reboot i think is a windows problem, not a wireguard client issue.
i literally only need the inbound port from a public ip that is accessible from the internet to go to the local lan device, in this application. Putty/ssh is the lightest way to do this, and i'm looking to do this with native tools.
