Access web vault

I read with interest your advice on how to use your WireGuard VPN to make it possible to take sensitive services ‘offline’ by making them accessible only through your network. My only disappointment was that it prevents me from accessing my Vaultwarden web vault remotely due to the issue with https. Is there really no workaround for this?

—Sean F Maxfield

THE DOCTOR RESPONDS: The Doc has done some extra digging and found one workaround you can use involving a domain name you own. The Doc assumes that you’ve followed our previous tutorials on configuring subdomain redirection using Nginx Proxy Manager, and that in this instance you have a subdomain (such as bw.domain.com) set up with an SSL certificate already attached to it.

In the short term, all you need to do is instruct your domain provider to point your subdomain to a local IP address instead of havingyou created for . Delete this and then create a new ‘A record’ (not ‘A+ Dynamic DNS Record’) for , pointing to your proxy server’s local IP address (such as 192.168.0.1). Leave your existing proxy server redirection in place—don’t disable or delete it.
