It also means that ALL traffic incoming on a specific port of that VPS can only go to exactly ONE private wireguard peer. You could avoid both of these issues by having the reverse proxy on the VPS (which is why cloudflare works the way it does), but I prefer my https endpoint to be on my own trusted hardware.

For TLS-based protocols like HTTPS you can run a reverse proxy on the VPS that only looks at the SNI (server name indication) which does not require the private key to be present on the VPS. That way you can run all your HTTPS endpoints on the same port without issue even if the backend server depends on the host name.

This StackOverflow thread shows how to set that up for a few different reverse proxies.

Perhyte ,

Is this just placing them vertically, nothing else?

I currently use the Tree Style Tab extension and really like how it handles sub-tabs and allows collapsing the tree nodes. If I can't have that this is probably not directly useful to me unless extensions can add that functionality.

I guess I'll be watching how this evolves though.

Perhyte ,

If there happens to be some mental TLS handshake RCE that comes up, chances are they are all using the same underlying TLS library so all will be susceptible…

Among common reverse proxies, I know of at least two underlying TLS stacks being used:

  • Nginx uses OpenSSL.
    • This is probably the one you thought everyone was using, as it's essentially considered to be the "default" TLS stack.
  • Caddy uses crypto/tls from the Go standard library (which has its own implementation, it's not just a wrapper around OpenSSL).
    • This is in all likelihood also the case for Traefik (and any other Go-based reverse proxies), though I did not check.
Perhyte ,

This is probably the only type of rules violation that could be fixed by creating another account, so this was exactly my thought.
