The same way you can hide your location with the proper use of a VPN, I would like to host a website, but have proxy the server with a “VPN” to the outside world.

The goal is to make it impossible to find where the server is located.

VPN is the wrong tool. Are there services like VPNs that could do this?

    So if I’m understanding that post correctly, I’m looking for something different. I understand how to use VPN to host private internal services. I’d be looking to host a public service, but hide where my servers are located.

    I want the world to access my service, but I don’t want them to know where my servers are.

      My instance https://lemmy.dudeami.win/ is hosted in this manner, but the public IP (45.76.20.112, hosted on a $5 VPS) tunnels public requests to my servers located on my home network. So, the servers running at my house do not expose their public IPs, but the service can still federate and be accessed by the public internet. I think this is what you are going for? It’s essentially what Cloudflare does, but self-hosted (via a VPS). Sorry if this is not what you are looking for!
