The TLS termination isn't actually on the VPS. The article details that Tierhive has an haproxy edge service (handling the TLS), that then has the vps as the backend, but that vps is just doing tcp proxying with socat to the ddns exposed home server fqdn. Feels like a lot of unnecessary loops. Kinda fun I guess but, just, why

Not disagreeing with you, but that makes it even worse.

Yes it is, "we plan to use our external VPS for handling the TLS termination". Edit: Ah I see you are just pointing out termination is on haproxy service not VPS. Thought you were implying it was terminating on pi, my apologies.
