flagship http/s reverse http proxy

I admire your project so much and you already have a lot that differentiates you from other providers. But a feature that will distinguish you even more from everyone and give immense help to many people can be an http/s reverse proxy.
Let me explain better, I know very well that you already support port forwarding, but a user may want to host http/s services in already used default ports and in a secure and anonymous way. The way to support this is very simple, do a service in any vpn server that works with http virtual hosts, like a reverse proxy made with nginx. This way a user can safely host a site on a default already used port using your vpn, also supporting https using SNI, not interfering with security. It would be ideal if it could work on every port, not just the default ones for http/s and in order to coexist with the Port forwarding service already provided, the port can be occupied by a reverse http proxy only when a user requests it and in case others require the same port of this type, a virtual host is simply added to the reverse proxy. A similar service is provided by ngrok, but they are anything but a vpn.

Hosting HTTP/S on their well-known ports is not possible with AirVPN, anyway, seeing as port forwarding does not work in the well-known ports range <1024.
Anyway, what you describe is essentially a web hosting service anyone can set up anywhere, sometimes even completely for free and often even on a RasPi by themselves. AirVPN is not that, which is probably why this feature will never come.

I'm describing a http reverse proxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy, here the http traffic Is forwarded to the vpn client based on the virtual host, thus giving the possibility to do port forwarding with well known ports and multiple vpn clients in the same port, a web hosting Is just a web hosting, not a reverse http proxy. I know that there are services that provides It even free, like ngrok. But those are not vpn and are not anonymous and secure.
