Most of my services are only available by using a vpn into my home network. I can understand why you might need a public facing service but I avoid it like the plague.

I have an EC2 instance running caddy that proxies through to my RPI cluster via VPN. It was pretty easy to set up. And Caddy handles HTTPS and HTTP->HTTPS redirection out of the box.
Thank you. Caddy sounds like something I was looking for recently.
I see it as an important step to a more decentralized future. For example, I know a few people who maintain Plex servers for their friends and family. This works quite well, but getting the server on the internet is the trickiest part. You can sink a lot of time into configuring routers, managing certs, NAT, DMZ, LMNOP. Or you can use a tunneling service that manages all of it for you.
The way to a more decentralized future is through yet another third-party service?
Huh? Are you referring to the VPS provider?
