If you have an internal app or homelab app or whatever, why don't you just... route to it? Configure your firewall to let traffic in and out?

My ISP blocks port 25, 80 and 443, so need to tunnel those. Some don't want to expose their IP directly. If you have dynamic IP you don't have to update the IP in DNS (since the "application" connects to the tunnel endpoint).
