A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

My question is fairly straightforward: I've got wireguard set up on my home network, and I'm really happy with it, but I also got a paid VPN service as well for privacy reasons.

The paid VPN i got is Mozilla VPN (which in theory uses wireguard as well).

My goal would be that I have my own VPN through which I can access my home network, and the paid VPN on top of it, which "forwards" the outbound traffic.

Is there a way to do this? Anyone has any experience with this?

If you have a router like OPNsense/PFsense (but I think that OpenWRT can do that too, I've never used it) you can forward all your home traffic to Mozilla VPN so that when you connect home with your home VPN you can reach your LAN services and at the same time Internet through Mozilla VPN.

But if you have a routed Android smartphone (or a PC), you should enable both VPN allowing LAN only traffic through your home VPN and all the rest (you can use this to calculate the subnets) through Mozilla VPN.
