I thought I was going to use Authentik for this purpose but it just seems to redirect to an otherwise Internet accessible page. I’m looking for a way to remotely access my home network at a site like remote.mywebsite.com. I have Nginx proxy forwarding with SSL working appropriately, so I need an internal service that receives the traffic, logs me in, and passes me to services I don’t want to expose to the Internet.

My issue with Authentik is if I need to access questionable internal websites I have to make an Internet accessible subdomain. I don’t want authentik.mywebsite.com to redirect to totallyillegal.mywebsite.com. I want it to redirect to 10.1.1.30:8787.

Is there anything that does that?

    This is the way. This is the video I followed.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liV3c9m_OX8

    I use traefik as reverse proxy. I have externally accessible domains for and then extra secure internal only domains that require wireguard connection first as an extra layer of security.

    Authentik can be used as a forward auth proxy and doesn’t care if it’s an internal or external domain.

    Apps that don’t have good login or user management just get Authentik proxy for single sign on (sonarr, radar etc).

    Apps that have oAuth integration get that for single sign on (seafile, immich, etc)

    To make it work the video will talk about adding both the internal and external domains to the local DNS so that if you access it from outside it works and if you access from wireguard or inside the lan it also works.
