Hi, I’ve recently built myself my first server to host a minecraft server. I manage this server through cockpit, which isn’t port forwarded.

Now I’m going to move to a different place, but I want to keep that server at this house because of more stable internet and me moving to a smaller space, but I don’t know how I could access this server remotely.

I’ve already tried adding a vpn to my router, but when connected, I still can’t access my cockpit dashboard. Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to port forward to access my cockpit instance remotely?

    While not what OP wants, this is what I want, but it isn’t working for me. I am trying expose a subnet behind nat, to a public server. I am currently testing this by attempting to expose the vlan created by libvirt on my laptop to my public vps. I followed the linked point to site guide, and ironically, the virtual machines created on my laptop can access the wireguard subnet, but public vps cannot access the virtual machines? (the guide said that it would be the opposite without the iptables nat/masquerade rules) I am guessing because I am doing this somewhat backwards, where the device exposing the lan is behind nat, whereas it is the other way around in the guides that I have seen.
