Reverse proxy (lemdro.id)

I have an openwrt router at home which also acts as my home server. It's running a bunch of services using docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.)

I have set up an SSH tunnel between my openwrt router and VPS and can access jellyfin successfully.

I understand that I need to set up a reverse proxy to access multiple services and have https.

But I'm confused if I should set up this reverse proxy on the VPS or on the router itself. Is nginx the easiest option? Should i add subdomains in cloudflare for every service?

Pease don't recommend vpns since they are all blocked where i live (wireguard, tailscale openVPN, etc.) I'm limited to using ssh tunneling only.

Thanks

Unfortunately, Deep Packet Inspection does this as Tailscale/Wireguard does not encrypt traffic

My bad, it encrypts traffic, but I mean easily readable signature

    It definitely encrypts the traffic, the problem is that it encrypts the traffic in a recognizable way that DPI can recognize. It's easy for someone snooping on your traffic to tell that you're using Wireguard, but because it's encrypted they can't tell the content of the message.

    https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/

    Looks like wireguard encrypts traffic to me.

    It's easily detected by firewalls in China and Iran.

    Interesting, because Tailacale doesn't use any special ports. How would that be detected? And could you maybe use Headscale on a dynamic port to circumvent that?
