    First off - total beginner with PFsense.

    I run PFsense on a R210II and I'm loving it so far. It's a lot to take in all at once - but i'm doing my best.
    On a previous setup, I had Unifi USG setup with dynamic DNS and a caddy server VM which worked out nicely on a few home web services I run.

    I would like to know, with PF - what's the best reverse proxy to use? I just have 3-4 sites like my guacamole server, ombi and unifi controller I like to access outside the house.

    Any direction is greatly appreciated.

      Is the access just for you or others as well. If it's just for you I would use a VPN instead of reverse proxy.

        Agree - if this access is for you.. Then it would be better to vpn vs exposing such things to the public internet.. I wold never expose your unifi controller to the public internet.
