Hey Guys,

currently I’m using cloudflare tunnel to hide the IP the services I’m hosting without opening a Port. However I was able to aquire a cheap VPS. Is there a way to create a “cloudflare tunnel” like system? I had an Idea, but was not able to finish implement it.

Obviously the easy solution would be, host a swag (reverse proxy) container on the vps and open some ports on my local router (one per service) and use duckdns to come around the non static IP issue.

However, I’d prefere not to open ports at home, I quite like the idea of the non port forwarding cloudflare tunnel solution.

So I was thinking I could connect the two sites via wireguard, allow the VPS to access my docker network which runs all the services and then forward the traffic which goe through the reverse proxy (like shown in this picture).

​

Any Ideas if this is feasible and I’m open to other suggestions, I’m right now in the phase of solution finding, so everything is welcome, especcially when it comes with a tutorial.

​

Have a great day, Autchi

    I used to have a CGNAt carrier, ran a VPS with an HAproxy lxc container that had Tailscale connected to my home network. HAproxy backend pointed to an on prem HAproxy with backend nodes in my home network. Was very stable. I’ve also used cloudflare tunnels. Cloudflare tunnels are much easier to setup.
