I think he wants Traefik's proxied requests to come from a different subnet, that way externally you need to authenticate but internally you don't.

Personally I wouldn't bother with that and instead I would not directly expose the service to the internet at all, and just use a VPN. I don't trust that any services I run are safe to expose to the internet unless they are very intentionally designed for that.

That's fair, a VPN might've been a better approach. I've been having some weird routing issues with WireGuard, that seem to work differently based on the client, but I've not had time to sort that out.

At the end of the post I mention, that having proper separation would've helped, but again, that's a whole project...
