I wanted to move away from Tailscale but found Headscale a bit too convoluted for what I actually needed.

Ended up with a simple WireGuard setup using two VPSes: one as a VPN hub, the other acting as a reverse proxy back into my home lab.

It lets me expose services publicly without any inbound port forwarding on my home connection.

Needs like 100MB RAM to run, so it can basically run on almost anything. If you like some extra security: Do another layer of authentication in the reverse proxy that faces the internet.
