## 1. Tailscale
This is the recommended way. For a reverse proxy example guide for Tailscale, see this guide by [@Perseus333](https://github.com/Perseus333): https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/discussions/6817
## 2. The normal way
## 2. Pangolin
[Pangolin](https://pangolin.net/) is an open-source, WireGuard-based remote access platform similar in concept to Tailscale. It uses the **Newt** connector to create outbound-only encrypted tunnels — no inbound ports need to be opened on your firewall. Pangolin handles TLS automatically, providing a valid certificate for your Nextcloud domain.
You can use either [Pangolin Cloud](https://app.pangolin.net/) (free tier available) or [self-host your own Pangolin server](https://docs.pangolin.net/self-host/quick-install) on a VPS. For private/local-only access, self-hosting Pangolin on a machine within your local network means that Nextcloud never needs to be exposed to the public internet.
For the reverse proxy configuration details and a step-by-step setup guide, see the [Pangolin section in the reverse proxy documentation](./reverse-proxy.md#pangolin).
## 3. The normal way
The normal way is the following:
1. Set up your domain correctly to point to your home network
1. Set up a reverse proxy by following the [reverse proxy documentation](./reverse-proxy.md) but only open port 80 (which is needed for the ACME challenge to work - however no real traffic will use this port).

**Hint:** You may have a look at [this video](https://youtu.be/zk-y2wVkY4c) for a more complete but possibly outdated example.
## 3. Use the ACME DNS-challenge
## 4. Use the ACME DNS-challenge
You can alternatively use the ACME DNS-challenge to get a valid certificate for Nextcloud. Here is described how to set it up using an external caddy reverse proxy: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-get-nextcloud-running-using-the-acme-dns-challenge
## 4. Use Cloudflare
## 5. Use Cloudflare
If you do not have any control over the network, you may think about using Cloudflare Tunnel to get a valid certificate for your Nextcloud. However it will be opened to the public internet then. See https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-to-run-nextcloud-behind-a-cloudflare-tunnel how to set this up.
## 5. Buy a certificate and use that
## 6. Buy a certificate and use that
If none of the above ways work for you, you may simply buy a certificate from an issuer for your domain. You then download the certificate onto your server, configure AIO in [reverse proxy mode](./reverse-proxy.md) and use the certificate for your domain in your reverse proxy config.
