For NextCloud, that should be fine.  I only need https for this particular setup.  I thought you could configure certain ports via tunnel or the entire host's IP (all ports).  I have not experimented yet, but the entire thing sounded very interesting to me.

Yes, they started with DNS and reverse proxy.  They have so many more offerings now and keep adding to their portfolio.  They are very innovative and I truly hope they end up one day competing head to head with Amazon.
