You use a mesh vpn with a reverse proxy? How does that work?
I'm not sure. Is it public facing or not? What's the mesh vpn for?
Why should I? I couldn't read it in the post. I use nextcloud because its easy and it has caldav which I use nextcloud 50% for. The other 50 percent is thinking I have a cloud if I someday need one.
I really hate those posts with the "you should..." part. Let people use whatever they want.
You what?
They perdo6ate
:D
you can do what you want
Thanks, my lord.
Let people ~~use~~ post whatever they want.
They can post whatever they want. I'm just here, hating it.
I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don't have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to "join" two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom's)
That sounds like you use the mesh vpn for managing the server, e.g. ssh, and you've got a server at home and route all traffic via the vps to hide your ip. Do i get it right?
OP's setting sounded like he's exposing his stuff publicly after routing through mesh vpn
correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.
