App Proxy from public server to Private Upstream (App Proxy+VPN tunnel)

[webmin88]

Hello,

I'm hosting my cloudron server in OVH, and hoping there's a way to set up an App Proxy back to an app on my home network. I tried setting up a site-to-site VPN back to my home network, is there any way to tell the App Proxy to use that route back to my home network?

The Cloudron App Proxy cannot be told to “use” a specific route or VPN interface. It simply proxies traffic from the Cloudron server to a reachable IP:port. As long as the Cloudron host itself can reach that target, the proxy will work – otherwise not.

So the question is not about the App Proxy, but about routing on the Cloudron server.

I did use a reverse approach. Run a reverse ssh tunnel with port forwarding from home → Cloudron and expose the service on localhost or a private IP on the Cloudron host. The App Proxy then points to that local endpoint.

It would be useful to install an App to a private IP without a hostname in DNS, to which we could then proxy in a few ways.

Will move this to feature requests since this is not implemented yet. If I understood correctly, you want the proxy to communicate via a VPN tunnel to your home.

@joseph That is correct. Thanks for the feature support.

This is how I use it currently, but I maintain the wireguard VPN myself, outside of cloudron, which is not the recommended way. I would LOVE for something like this to be available.
