I’m pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn’t require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

P.S. Apparently, what I’ve tried on the router does work, it’s just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!

    I would be fairly comfortable running a direct WireGuard connection even without Tailscale, but my location and use case simply won’t allow me to.

    Your setup is valid, nothing wrong with it, and yes, it is more secure. Just can’t be used in my case.
