Hello everyone :D
I’m looking to host some gaming servers to play with my friends (minecraft, enshrouded, and others), and some apps (paperless-ng, jellyfin, seafile, etc.). Each game server must be accessible from the Internet, but only certain applications will be accessible (jellyfin, etc.)
I don’t want to open any ports on my router or share my public IP. I already have a domain name, and I’m thinking of using some VPS to host a reverse proxy with tailscale or netbird.
For the VPS, I’m thinking of using OVH with unlimited bandwidth. I already have the domain name here, and I live in France where the servers are.
A few questions :
- Is this a good idea ? Any better solution is welcome.
- I don’t really know how I’m going to redirect subdomains to use the correct reverse proxy. Local DNS on the VPS ?
- Tailscale or Netbird ? (I actually don’t have any idea)
- Won’t using Tailscale or Netbird like this cause performance losses on game servers ?
Reverse proxy :
I’m going to try the first approach of @Limonene.
I hope the amount of lag is not that high, and thank you for reminding me.
