I have very little money and I just need something I can use to proxy traffic (HTTP mainly for my website) from the internet back to my server on my home network so that people can't tell where I live

Any dirt cheap hosting providers that just let me access some Unix system remotely?

It depends on how much network traffic you expect. It can get very expensive if you're routing a lot of data.

I'd recommend comparing Linode vs Digital ocean vs. Hetzner as a starting point. You can also check the big companies but I'm guessing you're interested in avoiding them.

Keep in mind that cloud services are just someone else's computer. If your goal is to be highly secure, this is a potential risk.
