I wrote this script for myself. I'm not responsible, if you damage something using my script.
I created this driver/packet for Venus OS that allows you to access a specific port on your Venus OS without the need to forward the port on your local router/firewall. It can for example be used to remote access the Venus OS device via SSH behind a mobile internet connection, VPN, firewall or anything else.
The driver is using ngrok as application to achieve that. Ngrok is like a router that forwards the port for you. In order to be able to do that, the application connects to a ngrok server, which is acting as a router, where then a dynamic port is opened for you. Then you can connect to the displayed hostname and port. For detailed informations on how ngrok works, visit their website.
In order to use ngrok you have to create a free account first.
The driver can directly be installed via remote console/GIU with the Setup Helper/Packet Manager or by uploading it via SFTP to the directory /data/venus-os_ngrok and then running the setup file or by running this commands:
wget -O /tmp/venus-os_ngrok.zip https://github.com/mr-manuel/venus-os_ngrok/archive/refs/tags/latest.zip
unzip /tmp/venus-os_ngrok.zip -d /data
chmod +x /data/venus-os_ngrok/service/run /data/venus-os_ngrok/service/log/run /data/venus-os_ngrok/setup /data/venus-os_ngrok/venus-os_ngrok.py
bash /data/venus-os_ngrok/setupThe configuration is done via remote console/GUI.

Access to the remote console/GUI → Settings → Services → Ngrok
The logs can be checked with tail -n 100 -F /data/log/venus-os_ngrok/current | tai64nlocal
You can check, if ngrok is running by executing ps | grep ngrok
If you do not see anything in the logs you can increase the log level in /data/etc/venus-os_ngrok/venus-os_ngrok.py by changing level=logging.INFO to level=logging.DEBUG
