EDITED TO ADD MY SOLUTION : FINALLY! I got it working. Leaving everything here for any future people.

I believe that a large part of the problem stemmed from not using a wildcard cert, for whatever reason? I switched my domain's DNS nameservers from Namecheap to Cloudflare (not overly happy about using Cloudflare but in the short term just happy this is working now). On Cloudflare, I made an API token with the permissions of zone, DNS, and Edit. I used that API token to create a *.domain.tld cert using a DNS challenge in Nginx Proxy Manager, and switched all my proxy hosts to use that wildcard cert. Once I did that, I achieved my goal!

Thank you to all the commenters who took the time to read and offer help!!

ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW
I am pulling my hair out and need help. I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible.

The Goal : To use sub.domain.tld to access a service hosted on my local network whether I am on the local network or not, with SSL certs either way.

The Current Situation : I have Unraid running on a home server on Unraid.IP.Address. On that server, I'm running a few services as well as a couple VMs which themselves are running services. I won't get into the details of all of them. I think the most relevant ones right now are DuckDNS, Nginx Proxy Manager, and Adguard Home - all of these run in docker containers on the Unraid host.

The Adguard home service has a static IP at AGH.IP.Address, and my router (an Actiontec T3200M) has been set to use AGH.IP.Address as both DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2.

I own domain.tld through Namecheap and use their DNS records to point multiple sub.domain.tlds to sub.duckdns.org for dynamic DNS services. These successfully resolve through Nginx Proxy Manager when I'm outside my network to my various services, as well as those I host for some friends. Nginx Proxy Manager has a cert for each sub.domain.tld. I cannot gain access to Namecheap API for the purposes of a wildcard cert via DNS challenge, to my knowledge.

I also have Tailscale setup on the Unraid server. I currently use Tailscale to pretend to be on my local network when I am away to continue accessing my services from the same LAN.IP.Addresses whether I am home or away. This makes it seamless for me and my partner, but it wasn't my ultimate goal (as mentioned in The Goal).

What I've Tried : I have tried to use Adguard Home's DNS rewrites as well as custom query filters to catch local requests for sub.domain.tld and point them instead to Unraid.IP.Address, but this does not resolve. If I try to access sub.domain.tld from within the network with or without DNS rewrite entries, it does not resolve. I've tried using PiHole instead of Adguard Home, but was having difficulty determining if it was working at all as a DNS server, so I switched back to Adguard Home. I've also tried setting up a second Nginx Proxy Manager instance on my network at a different IP address, and tried to have Adguard Home rewrite DNS to that one still with no success.

This has been a thing I've worked on off and on for a few months with no real success so I may be forgetting a few things that I have tried. If they come up in the comments, I will edit this part with additional things I've tried.

I believe I want split DNS to achieve what I'm trying to achieve, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to accomplish it. Any help would be super appreciated. Of all the things I've learnt on my self-hosting journey—switching to Linux full time, learning some docker and docker compose concepts, some light scripting, learning about VMs and passthrough, and more—networking as by far been the most difficult and head-bashingly difficult aspect of it all. For me, at least.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what my next steps should be to achieve my goal? I am open to any good or bad news. If I need to switch registrars, or change up my set-up radically, whatever it might take, I want to learn and I need direction because my research has hit its end.

Cheers!

The contrast is striking: In Europe, some people whose names come up in the Epstein files are facing consequences — but in the U.S., not so much.

European royals, government officials, politicians and others are losing jobs and titles over their connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. European law enforcement agencies are opening investigations based on recent troves of documents released by the U.S. government.

Prominent Americans with apparent ties to Jeffrey Epstein — including Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick— have so far largely kept their positions of power.

Intelligence agencies say deadly toxin in skin of Ecuador dart frogs found in Navalny’s body and highly likely resulted in his death

Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, was killed by dart frog poison administered by the Russian state two years ago, a multi-intelligence agency inquiry has found, according to a statement released by five countries, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The US was not one of the intelligence agencies making the claim.

Navalny died in a remote Arctic penal colony where he was serving a 19-year sentence. Samples from his body were secured before his burial and sent to the laboratories of two countries.

The UK, describing the poisoning as barbaric, said it would be reporting Russia to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, as a flagrant violation by Russia of the chemical weapons convention (CWC).

When Western leftists in awe with Qassam they're unaware that Qassam lineage is aligned with Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran after five hundred years of resistance.

Google Play has delisted UpScrolled, the "censorship-resistant" social media app founded by Issam Hijazi, following its rapid growth to over 2.5 million users and its brief stint as a top-ranked alternative to TikTok.

While the app remains available for existing users, Google has not provided a specific reason for the removal; UpScrolled's team confirmed they are working with the Play Store for reinstatement while maintaining their commitment to unfiltered content.

This development follows the app's rapid ascent in popularity, particularly amid concerns over content moderation on competing platforms like TikTok.

Co-ops are often dismissed as attempts to create islands of socialism. But building democratically controlled tech infrastructure can be part of a wider movement for working-class power.

Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software. The company warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech companies could harm competitiveness. According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth.

Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs and chief legal officer, warned of a competitive paradox that Europe is facing. According to the Financial Times, he said that creating regulatory barriers would be harmful in a context of rapid technological advancement. His remarks came just days after the European Commission concluded a public consultation assessing the transition to open-source software.

Google’s chief legal officer clarified that he is not opposed to digital sovereignty, but recommended making use of the “best technologies in the world.” Walker suggested that American companies could collaborate with European firms to implement measures ensuring data protection. Local management or servers located in Europe to store information are among the options.

The EU is preparing a technological sovereignty package aimed at eliminating dependence on third-party software, such as Google’s. After reviewing proposals, it concluded that reliance on external suppliers for critical infrastructure entails economic risks and creates vulnerabilities. The strategy focuses not only on regulation but also on adopting open-source software to achieve digital sovereignty.

According to Google, this change would represent a problem for users. Walker argues that the market moves faster than legislation and warns that regulatory friction will only leave European consumers and businesses behind in what he calls “the most competitive technological transition we have ever seen.” As it did with the DMA and other laws, Google is playing on fear. Kent Walker suggested that this initiative would stifle innovation and deny people access to the “best digital tools.”

The promotion of open-source software aims to break dependence on foreign suppliers, especially during a period of instability caused by the Trump administration. The European Union has highlighted the risks of continuing under this system and proposes that public institutions should have full control over their own technology.

According to a study on the impact of open-source software, the European Commission found that it contributes between €65 billion and €95 billion annually to the European Union’s GDP. The executive body estimates that a 10% increase in contributions to open-source software would generate an additional €100 billion in growth for the bloc’s economy.

After a sharp decline from 2021 to 2023, direct emissions from chip production are rising again. Could artificial intelligence be driving the increase? This brief explores one likely factor: surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Vertically stacking more memory layers requires more frequent etching and cleaning, which results in higher fluorinated gas use. We unpack the technology behind HBM, the market forces shaping demand, and the varying emission trends among leading memory chip manufacturers.

Maybe my memory is faulty, but I never remembered having to pay a surcharge to use a credit card. Now everywhere I go there are signs saying that there is a 2.5-3.5% surcharge to use a car (and others that say that there’s a 2.5-3.5% discount for using cash, I assume to get around wording)

“I want to say a ginormous f*** you to everyone in the tennis community who’s ever made me feel less than,” she wrote.

“F*** you to every single gambler who's sent me hate or death threats.

Thirty airstrikes by mid-February mark an unprecedented rate of US attacks in Somalia. President Trump launched a total of 124 airstrikes in Somalia in 2025, according to AFRICOM numbers, breaking the previous annual record for airstrikes in the country, which he set at 63 in 2019. If the current pace keeps up, Trump will shatter the record he set in 2025.

An explosive allegation against President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has surfaced in the Justice Department’s recent release of 3.5 million files, including disturbing details about a supposed body allegedly buried at one of Trump’s more than a dozen golf courses.

According to the document, the individual was formally interviewed by an FBI agent, and accused Trump of being aware of and having funded “underage sex parties at the Donald Trump Golf course.”

That individual went on to claim that they had “recordings of Trump, Epstein and Maxwell discussing marketing strategies for high profile sex parties,” according to the FBI official who drafted the document, their name also redacted. The individual claimed that in one of the recordings, Trump can be heard stating “he was aware of the underage sex parties.”

The tipster also told the FBI agent that they had personally witnessed Robin Leach – the British entertainment reporter and television host best known for “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” – “strangle a young girl during a sex party” at one of Trump’s golf courses or resorts.
