Secure portal between Internet and internal services (lemmy.world)

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?

The only catch is that some ISP or workplaces filler public DNS entries that point to private IPs because they can be indications of certain attacks.

But does this matter if you just want this to be locally accessible and you're running your own dns?

If it's resolved only on a private DNS server then it's ok.
