Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

What they suggest sounds like setting up a bridge interface between your LAN and the VPN interface to connect the VPS with your LAN. That’s actually a good idea since it would not need you to have a separate /64 for your local network. In this case I’m pretty sure that your VPN needs to be a layer 2 VPN, i.e. transports whole ethernet frames instead of TCP/UDP only, for this to work correctly. Wireguard doesn’t do this, OpenVPN can for example.
To make the VPS a gateway, you need to configure it to forward packets between networks and then set it as your default route on the clients (with IPv6, default route is usually published using router advertisements, set up radvd service on your VPS for that). That’s pretty much it IIRC except for the firewall rules. Here’s an article that’s some cloud stuff but is also applicable to your situation: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/linux-router-and-ip-forwarding/#enable-ip-forwarding
