What to do after server is ready? and how can I give it my own domain? #175

Question 1: After I have deployed the server on my desired port, what am I supposed to do to get the domain? like we normally get on the lt client. I am running the server on my VPS and client on homeserver on which I want to host a website, and am looking to bypass the CGNAT to do so. there's just no info on how to work with it after deploying.

Question 2: How do I get a domain of my own onto the localtunel server ,obviously I get a domain assigned by localtunnel, which gives a friendly reminder page too at the start, plus it isn't a permanent workaround for this, so I also need to understand how I can assign it my own domain, I have no problem in purchasing another domain etc. to be able to do it, also need guidance on how I should setup my DNS Records so I can put up my locally hosted website to the domain. Thanks Would be very grateful in anyone can help out.

I have looked for many other options too including some like, OpenVPN or Wireguard server, URL Redirect to my IP on specific port etc. but only thing working for me was the normal localtunnel client, so I though I should work further on this and make a server through it, but have failed in making a server as such. Once I fix this, I'd also like to write a detailed Readme for this project both for the client and server apps, it can help newbies like me to do it with ease.

@yashwanth2714 Sorry, I haven't worked on it since then. I resorted to using cloud. I may work on it in the future once I get time.
