  • nginx-proxy

    Automated nginx proxy for Docker containers using docker-gen

    I rent a vps and use it to self host various applications. I would now also like to use this as a vpn (similar to a proxy) to safely browse the internet in open wifi etc. I use docker for all apps so far, nginx-proxy as a reverse proxy and acme-companion for HTTPs certificates.

  • wireguard-install

    WireGuard VPN installer for Linux servers

    When I look into vpn servers, I find easy installers, which directly work on linux (e.g. angristan/wireguard-install) or also vpns, which operate from docker (like kylemanna/docker-openvpn). Then there are options, where multiple things are included, like firezone or this. I am not so sure how well they integrate with my reverse proxy and some seem to be much more complicated than others.

  • firezone

    Open-source VPN server and egress firewall for Linux built on WireGuard. Firezone is easy to set up (all dependencies are bundled thanks to Chef Omnibus), secure, performant, and self hostable.
