TheDreadPirate,
I just tried your suggested change, and unfortunately I'm still getting the 502 Bad Gateway page.
I'd like to use wireguard, but I'm even less familiar with how to arrange that to allow VPS traffic to be proxied to my local system.
The reason behind trying to put it up on a VPS is that the VPS gets a static IP that I can point my domain name at, is a separate system from anything at my home, and if anything goes wrong with the VPS, I can just nuke it and set up a new one. I like the idea of the separation in devices for security's sake. Also getting https:// working properly at home is kinda funky with the DDNS stuff, I think? If I were to use my local hardware to host externally, I'd have to open a port, firewall it properly (which isn't so bad), and also run some DDNS service to keep my IP / DNS entries up do date. Not the worst thing... and if it'd be significantly easier to set up I might consider it - I just also haven't found a good, clear guide on how to do it securely in such a way that I can be pretty confident that a security issue won't expose my whole home network.
