I have very little money and I just need something I can use to proxy traffic (HTTP mainly for my website) from the internet back to my server on my home network so that people can't tell where I live
Any dirt cheap hosting providers that just let me access some Unix system remotely?
Unlimited destruction on """the cloud""" of course 
I use digital ocean, costs me and $4USD a month. I use it to proxy through the CG-NAT my ISP has me behind.
Hostens container VPS plans are the cheapest I know of. $2.50/mo for a 'small' with a 3 year buy.
Thank youu for the rec, looking into it rn
Edit: I actually can't afford that much up front, would have to pay 7.50 for one month :(
Edit edit: Actually, 5.00 which is okay I can afford that for a bit
np, I have a VPS with them myself (for running Nextcloud and a few other things that I started operating myself after deciding to really move away from Google products) and the experience has been positive
It depends on how much network traffic you expect. It can get very expensive if you're routing a lot of data.
I'd recommend comparing Linode vs Digital ocean vs. Hetzner as a starting point. You can also check the big companies but I'm guessing you're interested in avoiding them.
Keep in mind that cloud services are just someone else's computer. If your goal is to be highly secure, this is a potential risk.
I'm not that bright when it comes to self hosting or hosting. But did you try docker. Based on your needs to proxy traffic I feel like docker can be of help. I am not well versed so sorry.

I don't know if this helps or not. I ran into stuff like this cause I don't have much to pay or want to. So I tried looking at stuff like docker. Never got around to it.
hetzner used to be really cheap, i haven't used it in a while cause i got IP banned for not paying though lol
Oracle Cloud has a very generous free tier that includes outgoing data and multiple VMs.

I remember looking into this some months ago and it didn't work out for some reason I don't remember..... maybe I'll try again
Thanks for the rec and reminder
Ohh I think it was cuz all my money is on prepaid cards rn lmao, which they don't accept as proof of identity
ngrok is free for development if you only need to serve HTTP, haven't used it personally but I think it basically acts like a reverse proxy
Am a little put off by the cloud and corpo stuff but will look into it
I would like to proxy other stuff than HTTP but this might work while I'm totally broke
Thanks for the rec
Cloudflare Tunnel. You can even use your own DNS domain. Free, but you need to give them a credit-card.
It that doesn't work, there's a list of tunnelling service providers: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling
