Way to get around ISP blocking port 80 (lemmy.today)

I'm trying to host a few docker services from my house, but my IP appears to be blocking port 80, so the only way to get a domain working that I've found is domainname.com:portnumber (I have port forwarding set up in my router, and can reach a wide range of ports, but not 80).

It looks like cloudflare will point sites to my IP but not ports, and because I can't reach port 80, I can't figure a way to route things through NGINX proxy manager on the same box.

Is there a free external service I can use as a reverse proxy to point requests to specific ports on my self-hosted box? Or else, is there another way to make my sites useable without the enduser having to specify ports?

Cloudflare tunnels are the thing you're looking for, if you're not opposed to cloudflare.

You run the daemon on your local system, it connects to cloudflare, and presto, you've bypassed this entire mess.

SOLVED! I had to learn how Cloudflare tunnels work, but 45 minutes later and it's doing exactly what I need, thank you so much, kind internet hero!

For anyone who would prefer not to use Cloudflare, the solution is a free Oracle VPS, a Wireguard tunnel into your homework, and a reverse proxy on the VPS (Caddy is my personal preference).
