How to Build a Secure Game Server Hosting Setup with AMP & Twingate
Want to host your own game servers securely without exposing everything directly to the internet? In this video, I’ll show you how to install and configure AMP (Application Management Panel) along with Twingate, Nginx Proxy Manager, and Technitium DNS inside a homelab environment.
This is Part 1 of a 2 part series where we build a streamlined and secure remote access setup for family and friends.
In this video we cover:
Installing AMP (Application Management Panel)
Creating and managing game server instances
Setting up Twingate for secure remote access
Adding AMP to Nginx Proxy Manager
Configuring Technitium DNS records
Creating friendly internal hostnames
Secure homelab game server hosting best practices
In Part 2, we’ll build a Raspberry Pi setup for a friend so they can access your game server from anywhere in their house without having to configure each device individually.
