My VPS provider is running a promotion where I can get up to 5 additional public IPv4 addresses for a one-time cost of $25 each. I have always only used a single public IP address per VPS. Would there be any advantage of having additional public IP addresses?
I know some people do not consider a VPS self-hosting, but this is the most relevant community I could think of and the question is also applicable for homelabs as well.
Kids seem to think host name based routing is "new’… It worked fine in the 2000s with Apache.
Yup, I was reverse proxying early in my career, and I even built my own once for fun (I “hid” an SSH server on my HTTP server by looking at the first few bytes and proxying appropriately).
It is a lot simpler nowadays. Download Caddy, put a 2 line config and you are good to go.
I guess that’s “a lot simpler” than 6 lines of config?
by factor of 3 obviously…
