I finally decided that I wanted to be able to externally access some of my Docker containers from outside of my local network. I don’t want to deal with the security hassle of exposing ports on my router, so I decided to go with Tailscale.

All of my container web services are run through traefik and are accessed using hostnames I set up on my DNS server. How would I go about accessing the different web services externally since the hostnames don’t resolve?

I use wireguard and nginx but I set my WG DNS as the server ip. I have adguardhome running on the server and have added the external domains to map to their LAN address so theyre resolved locally when using the vpn or the LAN. A similar setup should work for you.
