Setup for an easy to use, simple reverse http tunnels with nginx and ssh. It's that simple there's no authentication at all. The end result, a single ssh command invocation gives you a public url for your web app hosted on your laptop.

What

A lot of times you are developing a web application on your own laptop or home computer and would like to demo it to the public. Most of those times you are behind a router/firewall and you don't have a public IP address. Instead of configuring routers (often not possible), this solution gives you a public URL that's reverse tunnelled via ssh to your laptop.

Because of the relaxation of the sshd setup, it's best used on a dedicated virtual machine just for this (an Amazon micro instance for example).

create a self signed wildcard ssl cert for testing with nginx.conf example

just change out app_name for your purposes

openssl genrsa 2048 > app_name-wildcard.key

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 3650 -key app_name-wildcard.key > app_name-wildcard.cert

# Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:*.app_name.com

openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -text < app_name-wildcard.cert > app_name-wildcard.info

Build a dynamic SNI value to use in a HAProxy backend connection over SSL
frontend foo
bind :443 ssl crt /path/to/certs
# Ensure we have a clean state to start with
http-request del-header X-SERVER-SNI
# Set the concatenated value of the SNI value to a temporary header
http-request set-header X-SERVER-SNI haproxy.%[ssl_fc_sni] if { ssl_fc_sni -m found }
# Set the value of the header to a transaction-level variable
