It would be nice having native programs. At least you can use any native xmpp app with the same account to do text, audio, and visual comms (including groups). The only thing they don't support is the actual social feeds/posts aspect (and soon spaces!).

    Yes your description is just right and is the heart of my question. To use your terminology:

    Currently:

    • Away from home: Phone -> VM -> Home Server
    • At home: Phone -> VM -> Home Server (inefficient!)

    Ideally:

    • Away from home: Phone -> VM -> Home Server
    • At home: Phone -> Home Server

    In the ideal case, I would never have to change anything about the wireguard config/status on the Phone, nor would I have to change the domain name used to reach the resource on the Home Server.

    Oh hm I didn't think about your last point, maybe it's not really an issue at all. I think I'm not 100% on how the wireguard networking works.

    Suppose I tunnel all of my traffic through wireguard on the remote server. Say that while I am home, I request foo.local, which on the remote server DNS maps to a wireguard address corresponding to my home machine. The remote will return to me the wireguard address corresponding to the home machine, and then I will try and go to that wireguard address. Will the home router recognize that that wireguard address is local and not send it out to the remote server?

    How to Use Local IP for Services when at Home? (mander.xyz)
     

    So I have some services and wireguard running locally on a "home" network. I also have wireguard, a DNS resolver, and a reverse proxy set up on a remote server. Since I don't want to expose the home IP to the public, to access my services I connect to the VPN on the remote, which then forwards my request home. But this means that when I'm at home, connecting to my local services requires going out to the remote. Is there some way to have the traffic go over the switch when at home, but go over wireguard when away, without having to manually switch the VPN on/off?

    I could move the DNS resolver (which handles the internal names for the services) from the remote to the home server. But then similarly every DNS request will need to go through both the remote and home servers, doubling the hops. I'd like to use my own DNS server at all times though, both at and away from home. Which tradeoff seems better?

    edit: thanks for all the suggestions, I'll look into some of these solutions and see what works best
