Dynamic DNS only points the domain’s name server to your local server and requires the user to open and forward ports on a local router. With reverse proxy hosting your local IP and web server location will remain hidden and all client traffic will be securely tunneled through the reverse proxy. You can host your server on any network that has an active internet connection.

PrivateRouter’s reverse proxy service does not require any changes to your local router. You do NOT need to open or forward any ports. Our reverse proxy can go through firewalls to reach the outside internet.

Our reverse proxy sits in front of your web server and intercepts all requests from client traffic. Think of it like a “VPN for your website”. Unlike Dynamic DNS hosting, a reverse proxy will hide your web server’s local IP address and true location while wrapping traffic in SSL.

If you don’t have a domain name we will provide you a PrivateRouter subdomain free of charge. All yearly reverse proxy plans come with a FREE custom domain of your choosing. If you already have a domain name it can be configured to point to your PrivateRouter reverse proxy.

Speeds are only limited by your local internet connection. We provide unlimited speeds and bandwidth but your loading times will be capped at your local internet download speed. The faster your internet connection is, the faster your self hosted websites will load.
