Hello, I bought a VPS and installed pivpn with wireguard on it. I
connected my home server to it, but

when I go to the IP of my VPS it doesn't load up the Nginx page. Is
there a better way to do the above? I'm trying to host a matrix server
then use a VPS as a proxy so that I don't open ports on my own router

Check out Rathole, I use that on my VPS to forward ports from my home
server because I'm sitting behind CGNAT

Also very happy with Rathole.
Dont have access to the router in my student apt. And this helps me to
forward ports via a 1€ vps/month.

Why not host the matrix server on the vps?
