How to Build a Free Nginx Web Server and Enable Intranet Penetration
This step‑by‑step tutorial explains how to install and configure Nginx for free, create a simple website, start the server, and use a free tunneling service to expose the site to the internet without paying for hosting or a domain.
Many beginners want to set up their own website but lack funds for servers or domains, so this guide shows how to build a free Nginx web server.
1. Install Nginx – download the 1.23.1 zip from nginx.org or the provided link, unzip and observe the directory structure.
2. Configure Nginx – edit nginx.conf in the conf folder, uncomment needed directives (lines starting with # ).
3. Start the service – run nginx.exe from the root; a brief black window indicates successful launch, then access the site via the configured host and port.
4. Add website files – create an index.html (example HTML+CSS provided) and place it in the web root; the page can be viewed in a browser.
5. Enable intranet penetration – register on the Feige (飞鸽) service, open a tunnel, set the local IP and port, and run the provided client (npc.exe) with the generated command to obtain a public address.
After completing these steps, the site is accessible both locally and from the internet without paying for a server or domain.
