Noob here can you please explain what the 2nd line does? Thanks!

Great odea. Any guides/howtos you can share?

Thanks yeah I have a lot of services and Docker containers running on the device. I’ll try disabling logging.

FRP is fine but the https certificate part is not easy/automated.

It’s an http service running on my home server (running openwrt and docker).

SSH and VPN are either blocked or heavily throttled where i live.

Which scripts?

No i just imported an m3u into jellyfin.

Wireguard is blocked at protocol level no matter which port you use. Tailsclale uses wireguard. Haven’t tried headscale yet.

Thanks but I don’t seem to get the point of these proxies. What do they do exactly? Can you give me an example please?

Sorry i should have said i wanted a server not a client.

Caddy was exactly what i needed. It magically solved the problem…

Thanks I understand the theory behind this but I can’t get it to work.

I have a jellyfin.mydomain.com subdomain pointing at my VPS ip. On my home server I have Nginx Proxy Manager listening to 192.168.8.1:8998 (http) and 8999 (https) From my home server I forward port 80 from the VPS to local port 8999 like this:

ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:8998 root@vps-ip

Then on npm I define a proxy to localhost:8096 (jellyfin) for any traffic sent to jellyfinn.mydomain.com.

But I can’t access jellyfin remotely.

I don’t want to remember port numbers. I’m trying to give each service its own subdomain.

It’s easily detected by firewalls in China and Iran.

Thanks for the detailed reply. But I’m still confused. Do I need a separate ssh tunnel for every single service I run on my local server?

Thank you very much my question is should npm be installed on my VPS or my local server? What SSH command should I use to connect the two machines in a way that npm works?

All protocols are blocked. Proxying through v2ray/xray still works.

Shadowsocks is deprecated and doesn’t work anymore.

Wondering which YouTube channels are worth archiving.

It seems like this is the only solution. I’ll give it a go.

Tor only works with Snowflake bridges and the speed is very low.

Yes I can SSH to my US vps. I’ll give this a try thank you.

No they are blocked at protocol level no matter which port you use.

This is the case unfortunately. They are blocked at protocol level.

There are free alternatives like FRP and Rathole.

Rathole is similar but allegedly performs better.

Please update the post if you found solution to this. Also check this out.

This. Self-hosting doesn’t need to be a nerd thing.

Dynadot offers free .link domains.

They are what I use but they’re proxies not VPNs. Not sure they work for tunneling traffic from vps to home.

Never heard of this. Thanks.

That used to work but it doesn’t anymore. Openvpn over cloak still works apparently. I’ll give it a try.

It’s not about port numbers anymore. Their firewall even blocks normal https traffic when huge amount of data is being sent/received. They are getting smarter at guessing if the traffic is normal or it’s a vpn.

My goal is to be able to access local services running in a NUC at home. Currently it’s Jellyfin and i plan to set up Immich too for backing up photos.

I currently use Xray/Shadowsocks on the same vos to bypass the censorship, but they are proxies not VPNs.

Never heard of meshcentral‌, will have a look at documentation. Thanks.

Yeah SSH still works. Thanks for the suggestion.

ExpressVPN used to work but it got blocked too. I need a personal VPN solution to host on my own server. Currently we use Xray/V2ray to access restricted websites but they’re proxies, not proper VPNs.

I haven’t tried this. Will do. When wireguard still worked i used to use this script to set it up.

By lock/unlock do you mean using biometric login?

Is this better than Yunohost? https://www.casaos.io/
