Hi, I live in Germany and only have public IPv6. My address changes only very, very rarely and has never changed in the time I’ve been self-hosting.
I also have a very small, pretty cheap VPS with static IPv4/IPv6 – which would seem like a great fit for some sort of tunneling/proxy setup. Now comes the question: What/how should I use it? I would like to not have the additional latency for IPv6 enabled hosts, can I just setup a reverse proxy for IPv4? Would Tailscale work for my usecase, what are some resources you found useful when using it?
Currently, I’m just hosting everything IPv6-only and hoping my address never changes, but that does not work for everyone, as especially many new buildings with fiber optic connections still only have IPv4 (strangely).
Wire guard to the vps with nftables port forwarding.
Check my wiki here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Awireguard_redirects
Or setup ssh with port forwarding as well. Less reliable but nothing to install on a basic Linux.
This. Using simple ssh tunneling with port forwarding in a similar scenario. Working flawlessly with zero maintenance for 5 years and counting. Very reliable
Not really reliable, much less than wire guard. If your connection is unstable ssh not the best option. Autossh make it better, but still after a forced disconnection ssh will take a while to drop and reconnect. Wire guard is much better. I moved from ssh+autossh to wireguard and wished I did that sooner.
