Hi All

I've a proxmox host with few services on a CGNAT connexion.
I'm using IPV6 to reach service from an IPv4 VPS with nginx reverse
proxy.

It works great but i would more security.

I'm thinking of Wireguard but don't know how and where to start.

I've read lot a things but it's not clear to me.


Someone have a setup like me ?

Thank you

There are atleast 3 posts per week about secure access to homelab, why
not simply search for one?

Because all i read never mention ipv6
with cgnat i can't open port

Lot of discuss is about difficulty to setup wireguard server on lxc

I use Tailscale, which is built on wireguard.

I have a tailscale connection setup on each of my hosts, and some of
the clients. It's super easy, and secure.

If I have a good understand
No need to install a VPN server
All the config is on tailscale service

That's it ?

Hi, one of the weekly posts asking about security this week was mine.
It took me 15 minutes to set up Tailscale. You basically just need to
install it on every device you want to use and that's it. Their
tutorials are step by step with gifs so anyone can follow them.
