  • knock

    A port-knocking daemon (by jvinet)

  • As other's have suggested, I use wireguard to get into these services. One other thing I would suggest though is to setup SSH with external access using port knocking along with SSH keys. That means if your VPN is failing for some reason you can at least diagnose it.

  • nginx-proxy

    Automated nginx proxy for Docker containers using docker-gen

  • nginx-proxy

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pivpn

    The Simplest VPN installer, designed for Raspberry Pi

  • I use PiVPN to get into my local network, then I use an nginx reverse proxy so I don’t have to remember ports.

  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

  • As you said, Wireguard is quite difficult to setup… but I recently found Tailscale and it is an awesome tool to use Wireguard without any difficulties ! It would maybe fit OP’s requirements to reach his server easily from outside his home :) Tailscale Official Website

  • wireguard-install

    WireGuard road warrior installer for Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS and Fedora (by Nyr)

  • This installer is excellent. I recently reinstalled Wireguard in under five minutes with it.

  • reverse-proxy-confs

    These confs are pulled into our SWAG image: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag

  • Swag = nginx, fail2ban, letsencrypt and sample reverse proxy conf all in one container.

  • Nebula

    A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security

  • There's Nebula; which is pretty new. It was created by the Slack devs for their own internal use. https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

  • tinc

    a VPN daemon

  • And there is Tinc; the OG overlay network. I don't have experience with this. Seemed a bit of a pain to setup. https://tinc-vpn.org

  • WireGuardMeshes

    A text repo to feature-track WireGuard mesh software
