So…in a short sentence…the title. I have a server in a remote location which also happens to be under CGNAT. I only get to visit this location once a year at best, so if anything goes off…It stays off for the rest of that year until I can go and troubleshoot.
I have a main location/home where everything works, I get a fixed IP and I can connect multiple services as desired.
I’d like to make this so I could publish internal servers such as HA or similar on this remote location, and reach them in a way easy enough that I could install the apps to non-tech users and they could just use them through a normal URL. Is this possible? I already have a PiVPN running wireguard on the main location, and I just tested an LXC container from remote location, it connects via wireguard to the main location just fine, can ping/ssh machines correctly. But I can’t reach this VPN-connected machine from the main location.
Alternatively, I’m happy to listen to alternative solutions/ideas on how to connect this remote location to the main one somehow.
From your remote location I would set up at least two different tunnels back to your home network. Perhaps one service using cloudflare tunneling, and one using wire guard as you mentioned. That way if one of your tunnels goes down you have time to fix using the other tunnel.
If you have the budget for it ubiquiti gear is pretty good, and using their cloud configuration makes sense in this scenario. The ubiquiti gateway would sit at your remote location, maintaining tunnels, and if there any issues you could fix them through the UI.com interface.
