Advice needed (lemmy.world)

Hello networking community! I need a setup where I can forward my server from my private network to another network which has a public ip to forward the server itself to the internet. When a client connects to the server, traffic should get forwarded to my private network somehow. I know that's possible, but don't know how I can achive that.

Came back after a year, got some knowledge. I achieved this setup using WireGuard (+ PersistentKeepAlive) and custom iptables rules on an old laptop with barebones arch install. By masquerading, we loose the source ip when forwarding, and to preserve it we need a L2 tunnel (L2GRE).

Can you draw a diagram? It kind of sounds like you need either NAT or VPN or a combination of the two.

Sounds like he's behind a double NAT and wants a public IP

I don't think double NAT is my case. My ISP doesn't provide me with a public IP.
