Hey! Sorry for the repeating question, I have a very specific question though.

For context, I access my services using a vpn, and that’s been great. However, I’ve been a lot of people mentioning reverse proxies. Are they necessary or more of a convenience thing? I ask because I don’t see something that I cannot do with my current vpn setup.

Thanks!

    The services all have different IP addresses. You setup your containers and virtual network to use multiple IP addresses on a single physical interface connection.

    192.168.1.100:34000 is Plex
    192.168.1.101:80 is Website 192.168.1.102:80 is Website 2

    I can turn on my VPN and type any of them into the address bar to access them.
