I have been building Portlyn for weeks now.

It all started with a problem I had with my homelab setup. It was not a deal but it was annoying every time I worked on my setup.

Some of my services were behind a NAT or CGNAT. I wanted to be able to access them with domains TLS certificates and authentication without having to open up ports on my home network.

Course there are already tools that can do this. I tried a few of them. They did not really work the way I wanted them to.

So after messing around with configs and trying to get tools to work together I thought, "this should be simpler".. That is when I started building Portlyn.
