TLDR: VPN-newbie wants to learn how to set up and use VPN.
What I have:
Currently, many of my selfhosted services are publicly available via my domain name. I am aware that it is safer to keep things closed, and use VPN to access – but I don’t know how that works.
- domain name mapped via Cloudflare > static WAN IP > ISP modem > Ubiquity USG3 gateway > Linux server and Raspberry Pi.
- 80,443 fowarded to Nginx Proxy Manager; everything else closed.
- Linux server running Docker and several containers: NPM, Portainer, Paperless, Gitea, Mattermost, Immich, etc.
- Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole as DNS server for LAN clients.
- Synology NAS as network storage.
What I want:
- access services from WAN via Android phone.
- access services from WAN via laptop.
- maybe still keep some things public?
- noob-friendly solution: needs to be easy to “grok” and easy to maintain when services change.
