Reverse proxy

mFat@lemdro.id to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 47 points –

I have an openwrt router at home which also acts as my home server. It's running a bunch of services using docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.)

I have set up an SSH tunnel between my openwrt router and VPS and can access jellyfin successfully.

I understand that I need to set up a reverse proxy to access multiple services and have https.

But I'm confused if I should set up this reverse proxy on the VPS or on the router itself. Is nginx the easiest option? Should i add subdomains in cloudflare for every service?

Pease don't recommend vpns since they are all blocked where i live (wireguard, tailscale openVPN, etc.) I'm limited to using ssh tunneling only.

Thanks

Looks like wireguard encrypts traffic to me.

It's easily detected by firewalls in China and Iran.

Interesting, because Tailacale doesn't use any special ports. How would that be detected? And could you maybe use Headscale on a dynamic port to circumvent that?

Wireguard is blocked at protocol level no matter which port you use. Tailsclale uses wireguard. Haven't tried headscale yet.
