Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? (gregtech.eu)

I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I'd like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I'm going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

I use Synology integrated reverse proxy, stupidly simple and always works for me (only if IPv6 doesn't fuck up itself, I can't fallback to IPv4 because that is CGNATED), if I am missing features that other options have I would like to know :)

I've looked at it but never actually given the Synology proxy a go despite using their DNS server. Does it do auto certificate renewal?

Have you considered using a Cloudflare tunnel to bypass the CGNAT? You can do that into a proxy or straight into the service.

Yes.

I did before when I had some free domain over there, but I don't think there are any worthy free domains out there anymore, and even when they are cheap, I really don't need it and don't feel comfortable to pay for something that I can't use in its fullest (due to CGNAT).

For example, I am aware cloudflare tunnels can't be used for a Plex/Video streaming and that is the number 1 service that I want to be exposed to the Internet.

For now I am living with my IPv6 address and the Synology DDNS with the reverse proxy features... My personal fallback are Tailscale and Zerotier.
