Description

I'd quite like to expose my TSIDP over the internet with my own domain. Unfortunately the client will only bind to localhost, ruling out a reverse proxy.
I then went on to try to proxy my domain -> ts.net via funnel, but this is also blocked by the client as I'm not connecting to the tsnet domain.

Could there please be a way to either bind to a different interface, or bring your own domain another way?

The only other solution I can think of is to enable localhost binding, and use "network_mode: service:idp_proxy" to forward the traffic from my chosen interface to localhost. Otherwise I have to build from source. Both options are tedious and 'hacky'.

I may have missed a way to do this already implemented. If so, I welcome suggestions.

Thanks
