Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Each time you send a packet over the internet, several routers handle this packet without touching the source and destination IP addresses.
There is nothing stopping him from configuring the VPS in a way that forwards packets from the home server, rewriting the destination IP (and optionally destination port as well) but leaving the source IP intact.
For outgoing packets, the VPS should rewrite the source (homeserver) IP and port and leave the destination intact.
With iptables, this is done with
MASQUERADE
rules.This is pretty much how any NAT, including ones behind home routers, work.
You then configure the homeserver to use the VPS as a gateway over wireguard, which should achieve the desired result.
