    Nice! I have a bunch of services I run locally but have been hesitant to expose to the internet so when I want remote access it’s alwys over an openVPN connection. Why did you decide to go this route over just using wireguard directly from your client devices? I presume the openbsd box is just a reverse proxy?

      I had some servers sitting around from a previous project and I put them to use.

      As soon as I wanted a valid TLS endpoint I was going down the rabbit hole of tunneling the local services; ingress or egress I’d have “trust issues” that I would have to deal with such as where the vaults live and get the database to them, sshfs? zfs smb? nfs? So I decided to extend out for the public services and keep the private services a couple tunnels away from the internet.

      The other nice part is that I can make a tmpfs/memfs mount for my vault and cache it at the edge, still working on that one. ;-)
