Self-hosted family SFTP: exposing a NAS without port forwarding using Pangolin + Newt + SFTPGo

Four non-techy relatives need access to folders on my NAS from anywhere, simply, with a mainstream Android app. The old Internet-exposed SFTP is gone.

Plus two hours wasted blaming my ISP when the culprit was sitting one panel over.
