I'm right there with you, except at times I have thrown caution to the wind and made my sites available.
My current setup is to rent a cheap $5/month VPS running nginx. I then reverse ssh from my home to the vps, with each app on a different port. It works great until my electric goes out and comes back on the apps become unavailable. I haven't gotten the restart script to work 100% of the time.
But, I'd love to hear thoughts on security of reverse SSH from those that know.
