I live in a country where wireguard, openvpn and other vpn protocols have been blocked. Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels don’t wok either. I do have a public ip and my router supports DMZ and port forwarding. For security concerns I’m not willing to forward ports. Is there any other method to use my VPS to forward traffic to my home server?

    So that setup effectively gives you an all-ports available connection (except 22) from your mobile device and anything that connects through it, like a laptop? The exit node would be the VPS.

    Could I skip the home router and EoIP+VPN directly between mobile and VPS, for instance?

    I am in a situation (restrictive firewall on ethernet/wifi, prefer personal mobile connection but it’s cgnat or something equally crap) this could be very useful for me.

      Technically like this:

      Anyone -tcp80-> vps -tcp80-> router -tcp80-> homeserver.

      Exit of homeserver-originated traffic would be your router, not vps. Unless you specify custom routes in your router, then yeah, might be possible.

      Also you don’t need EoIP tunnel at all, since it’s all in Layer4.
