Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi everyone, welcome back
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So today we're going to try something a little bit different
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're gonna start a new video series
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about all the different ways to expose or access our homelab
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the internet
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The reason is mainly because there's tons of options out there.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and i feel like it's not talked enough about on YouTube
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Especially the security part
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is most important
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,almost everyone just assumes it's secure which isn't always the case
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so make sure to hit the like button
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,subscribe
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and let's get started
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay so how to do it
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to expose our homelab there are five main ways
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1. Secure Tunnels like Cloudflare
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2. Reverse proxies like Nginx
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3. Traditional VPNs like Wireguard or OpenVPN
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4. Mesh VPNs like ZeroTrust and Tailscale
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lastly the old classic port forwarding or NAT
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's break down each one of them quickly to understand the differences
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first secure tunnels like Cloudflare
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is often defined as secure tunnels to access your app without exposing your IP address
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making remote access easy
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's also fairly easy to setup
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,however, by default it's not secured enough
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and solely reling on your app security
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this can be improved
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we'll cover this later in another video
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next reverse proxies
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like nginx
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a server that sits in the middle and forward requests to your homelab
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helping you manage multiple services under one domain
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while adding another layer of protection
