Hmm. I still have yet to see any evidence that they're following up on
any opf these scans...

So forward your web server back through the ssh. Not need to make an
"open to the world" port - you can have it appear on your work intranet
and not in O@H's scans. Trivial.

Why can't you assume they might actually already operate in this manner?

They said it couldn't be done
they said nobody could do it
But he tried the thing that couldn't be done!
He tried - and he couldn't do it.
