I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow this guide. Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn't work. I'm trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue?

VPS Info:

OS: Debian 12

Architecture: ARM64 / aarch64

RAM: 4 GB

Traffic: 20 TB

You also add the -R parameter:

ssh -R SERVER_IP:443:HOME_PROXY_IP:HOME_PROXY_PORT user@SERVER_IP

https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-setup-ssh-tunneling/ (you want the "remote port forwarding"). ssh -R, -L and -D options are magical, more people should learn about them.

You may also need to open access to port 443 on the VPS. How you do that depends on the VPS service, check their documentation.

    Hi, whenever I try to enter the ports 80 and 443 at the beginning of the -R parameter, I get this error: Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 80. How do I fix this?
