So you essentially have a DMZ between your VPS and home network that is divided by your reverse proxy?
Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services
yonder@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoI basically do exactly this, but I am running the reverse proxy on my home computer: the VPS is literally just acting as a proxy, for which I use wireguard to tunnel the connection. So far it’s worked great, though initial setup was a pain.

This is a great suggestion!
Lest anyone miss the buried lede, this approach means that traffic is pre-encrypted as it passes through the gateway VPS - so even if your VPS gets hacked, it’s way harder to steal credentials and break into your services running on the home network.
