can anybody recommend a tunneling service that allows me to host a single web service on the internet for free? i used ngrok but would like to switch. i do not mind if the domain is an ugly randomly generated one, it just needs to be somewhat permanent. it's for hosting my jellyfin through my rpi, so it's just for me

@orthogonality Looking to ditch ngrok for a #Jellyfin setup on a Raspberry Pi? Here are the best free, permanent-ish options for 2026 that won't ban you for video streaming:
💎 zrok (Top Pick) Open-source, secure, and very Fedi-friendly.
• Use zrok reserve public to get a static URL that survives reboots.
• 5GB daily limit on the free tier—plenty for personal streaming.
• No "non-HTML" bans like Cloudflare. (1/3)
