▲ 48 ▼ Reverse Proxy vs VPN: How do you access your home-server? (feddit.de) submitted 3 years ago* by moddy@feddit.de to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 47 comments fedilink hide all child comments The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy. I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services. Open ports are much easier to handle for them. How many users do you have and how many ports are open? My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports How many users and open ports have you?

What advantage does it give you over setting up your DHCP correctly such that you can access your services by hostname? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ShinNoodleBlackCup@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago Because I have my own custom domain internally and don't use tailscale while on I'm on my network physically. But I get the best of both worlds, however I do have Tailscale setup with DNsMasq to set to my domain name anyway instead of using the Tailscale domain permalink fedilink source parent
