<![CDATA[I self-host services at home, but I don't want to expose my home IP to the world.]]>I self-host services at home, but I don't want to expose my home IP to the world. I also don't want my server to be hammered.

So I rented a cheap VPS and installed HAProxy as a front to expose my home-hosted services, and I can manager my cluster exactly as I did before.

Has the additionnal routing a time impact ?

The internet is shit, therefore in order to have a home server, I must:

Pay for a VPS (cheap, but still), which runs an entire OS (reserving 2 GB mem+25 GB storage), continuously installs software updates, wraps all requests in VPN.. and on the tinfoil-hat level we've just given a VPS provider VPN access to our home network.

Works like a charm
