I have a number of services I’d like to host, and an old laptop with some of them set up and working on my network.

But I currently have a Google router, and the Google home app doesn’t seem to let you port forward. The “Port Management” option in Advanced Settings redirects to privacy settings.

There’s one port I forwarded before the app broke a few years ago, but I don’t suppose it’s viable to run multiple services through a single port.

Is there a workaround, or am I stuck until I can get a new router?

    Port management redirects to privacy settings? That’s not right. I’ve had google routers for like 5 years now and multiple family members also have them. Most reliable routers I’ve owned to date, haven’t had a need to upgrade

    Also you can host multiple services through the same port. This is typically done through port 443, using a reverse proxy
