What do you guys use to expose private IP addresses to the web? I was using the npm proxy manager with Cloudflare CDN. However, it stopped working after I changed my router (I keep getting error 521). Looking for an alternative to Cloudflare cdn so I can access my media server/self-hosted services away from LAN.

(Tailscale doesn’t work for me at all)

This is what I want to achieve: https://youtu.be/c6Y6M8CdcQ0?feature=shared

I literally followed this tutorial to make it work the first time.

    Wireguard.

    Unless you actually have a need for the public to access the services then you shouldn’t be exposing them. If it’s just you and a few household members that need access then you should be using ddns and wireguard, or similar.

    My phone auto connects with wireguard as soon as I leave my home ssid, so I never lose access to my services.

      How do you do that? Tasker?

        I’m on iOS and do the same thing.

        The WireGuard app has a setting to “connect on demand”. It’s in the individual connections/configurations.

        You can then set either included or excluded SSIDs. There’s also an option to always connect when you’re on mobile/cellular data.

        I imagine the Android app is similar.
