I'm willing to move away from cloudflare if only I can expose servers without a global IP and needing to open port on the router side. Do anybody know how to do this?

Or maybe I should move to somewhere I can setup port-forwarding?

VPS+VPN, this is what I do.

VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard "server"* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban...). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.

For private facing/LAN-only services I just don't have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).

Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.

*Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.

I've been thinking about this setup but it depends on external server after all...

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.

What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn't depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.

I wish I could afford multiple VPS

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago

If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it's Oracle, so...).

Maybe Pangolin is what you are looking for.

[–] yxp@lemmy.radio 3 points 1 day ago

So it's basically the same as what https://startrek.website/u/qjkxbmwvz described above ... but with extra security features?

Just use wire guard. This is what tunnels is and this is what tail scale uses
