    Nice thing is you skip port forwarding entirely, which matters a lot if your ISP has you behind CGNAT. Curious how people handle uptime though, since a hidden service going down isn't something you notice until someone tells you.

      Agreed yeah. Mine has been up with no issues so far for ~half a year.

      (There are solutions for CGNAT - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;david.alvarezrosa.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;self-hosting-behind-cgnat&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;david.alvarezrosa.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;self-hosting-behind-cgna...)

        Can&#x27;t you just forward ports through ssh?

          That approach forwards everyrhing so can be used for multiple things (ftp, web, email, etc)

      Same as you handle uptime on anything else: you use monitoring software.

      If people need to tell you your services are down, you end up eating a huge amount of downtime.
