I have an openwrt router at home which also acts as my home server. It’s running a bunch of services using docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.)

I have set up an SSH tunnel between my openwrt router and VPS and can access jellyfin successfully.

I understand that I need to set up a reverse proxy to access multiple services and have https.

But I’m confused if I should set up this reverse proxy on the VPS or on the router itself. Is nginx the easiest option? Should i add subdomains in cloudflare for every service?

Pease don’t recommend vpns since they are all blocked where i live (wireguard, tailscale openVPN, etc.) I’m limited to using ssh tunneling only.

Thanks

    Unfortunately, Deep Packet Inspection does this as Tailscale/Wireguard does not encrypt traffic

    My bad, it encrypts traffic, but I mean easily readable signature

      Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?

      It definitely encrypts the traffic, the problem is that it encrypts the traffic in a recognizable way that DPI can recognize. It’s easy for someone snooping on your traffic to tell that you’re using Wireguard, but because it’s encrypted they can’t tell the content of the message.

          Interesting, because Tailacale doesn’t use any special ports. How would that be detected? And could you maybe use Headscale on a dynamic port to circumvent that?

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

      It’s definitely encrypted they can just tell by signature that it is wireguard or whatever and block it.

      They could do this with ssh if they felt like it.
