Own reverse tunnel

@amitmund July 24, 2026

Yes. What you're actually looking for is building your own reverse tunnel / P2P access infrastructure, so you can access services running behind NAT without a public IP. This is exactly how Tailscale, ZeroTier, Cloudflare Tunnel, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, and many IP cameras work.

Since you already have a Django server with a public static IP, you can use it as a control plane (signaling server).
