Based on your description, it kind of just sounds like tailscale.

Hmm. It’s kind of just a VPN. It tunnels your traffic and terminates it at some server. It’s just that NordVPN makes you share an IP with other users and doesn’t offer port forwarding. But the rest of Hoppy isn’t unique.
I rented a VPS and installed wireguard myself. And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server. That’s the same thing Hoppy does. Just that Hoppy does the setup of the firewall and Wireguard for you.
But I’m not aware of any similar services that do it automatically.

Thank you.
I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.
I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

iptables or nftables. Or firewalld depending on the Linux distro and version you use.
Sometimes the Arch Wiki has some good info on specific configurations. I mean it’s not that easy to write firewall rules on the command line. But it’s no rocket science either.
