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.

@thibaultamartin I did a similar thing with frp https://github.com/fatedier/frp and Caddy. Works like a charm

@thibaultamartin FWIW, the Infrawire link points to wireguard.com, instead of - I believe - infrawire.fr.

@thibaultamartin totally agree, this setup makes sense: but it also sucks that the internet is such a dumpster fire, so yet more resources have to be wasted..

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.

@thibaultamartin interresting, is the VPS physically close to your home ? Has the additionnal routing a time impact ?
