Can Zoraxy function with a two-server setup: one for computation and the other as a proxy to the internet?

[SteadyStatus21]

I currently use Rapiz1's Rathole as a proxy in my setup, but I'm interested in exploring alternatives like Zoraxy. My current architecture looks like this:

• Homelab (LAN, can access WAN & firewall to prevent unauthorized access)
• Transports traffic to / from:
• VPS in the Cloud (WAN, where users connect to access services hosted on the Homelab)
  Diagram to help reference my setup.
  

I’m wondering if Zoraxy could be used to support a similar configuration, with one server handling the computational work and the other acting as a proxy to the internet. Would this be feasible, or is Zoraxy designed to work differently?

@SteadyStatus21 That is why Zerotier (or the GAN option in Zoraxy) exists. It help you bridge two computer together with a "global area network".

Though, I guess with some settings, rathole should be able to do the same thing as Zerotier (just without the UI part). You shd create an issue on rathole github and ask how can you allow your proxy server to access a web server on your homelab with private IP address (e.g. a dedicated network interface that forward packets sending to 192.168.196.101:8080 over to your_home_lab:8080) or a loopback port (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8123 to your_home_lab:8080)

Gotcha. Thank you!
