I know that I can use 3rd party services to set up a tunnel, like Cloudflare, but I’d like to implement this myself.

I feel like every time I research this question I find all kinds of blogs / form posts across the timescape on the topic, and I’m just looking for whatever might be the most current or recommended best method of configuring a VPS tunnel. I’m behind a CG-Nat which is why I want to set one up.

If you’ve done this recently yourself, where did you get your info from?

Thanks!

    It’s funny, when you explain it, my IT hat goes on and I totally get it lol. I guess the context felt different enough that I didn’t get it. But I work with Windows domains all day and that’s exactly how DNS operates in that environment.

    Ultimately I think for a tunnel you’ll end up with your records pointing to your VPS. So you’ll have a *.domain.tld CNAME record and maybe a @ CNAME record and your nginx server on the other end of the tunnel would handle the routing.
