SOLVED Will use the DNS server with custom local domain and firewall rules after
Hey fellow selfhosters! Hope you're doing well, today I would like to have some help to know how I could make this project a reality. So I would like to give to friends and family a VPN access to my homelab (probably with Wireguard).
I also have a VPS in the cloud and I can VPN to it to anonimize outgoing connections.
So basically in the case that a friend ask a local service I want the request to come to my home with his VPN connection and then comeback directly from my home.
In the case that a friend request google[dot]com I want the request to come to my house and then go trough the VPS to make the request from it and not from my home. Then comeback from google to the VPS to my home to the client.
The principal issue I have is how can I route my services directly trough my home without going into the regular WWW, but make all other requests to go trough the VPS and to the WWW
If you need some more explanations or infos, feel free to ask.
PS : I also self host PiHole so all the DNS requests should go trough it (and maybe I could use it to route requests where I want by tweaking my domain request to local IPs?)
You're pretty much describing Tailscale with an exit node on the VPS. If the purpose of the VPS is to make their traffic not come from your home, you can omit the VPS entirely as Tailscale only routes through the VPN when reaching services also on the VPN.
Edit: to self host it, look into Headscale, but the default, hosted control server works well too.
Could you precise your answer a bit?
