Weird take. What does the choice of remote ingress have to do with hosting things yourself?

Hosting doesn't mean exposing to the public internet. It means running the stuff.

It's perfectly fine to self-host a bunch of services that are only accessible from within your LAN. Using a VPN to expand that access doesn't change that, regardless of the VPN solution used.

Outsourcing a part of your network to a third party service doesn’t really fit the definition of self hosting to me. If you used headscale or wireguard it would.

The author never claimed to self-host the VPN/Ingress.

VPN/Ingress could definitely be defined as a web service. Either way thats just picking on semantics. It strikes me as odd that an article about self-hosting would have so little of it in it.
