How Authelia Performs Multi-Factor Authentication
Authelia sits between your reverse proxy and the apps behind it, intercepting requests and performing auth checks before forwarding traffic, giving you true MFA that can be integrated with something like Google Authenticator, or Yubikey/Titan key, etc…
Stop exposing unsecured apps. Learn how to deploy Authelia in Docker with a KeyDB backend and SWAG to enforce centralized Multi-Factor Authentication.
Setting up Authelia can be a bit intensive at first, but very worth the payoff / time and effort!
Disclaimers: I’m the author & run this exact setup, in production for myself. It’s a “battle tested” setup, which has been in use for a few years now. Written & verified by a human!

Is rayfish compatible with Authelia or Yggdrasil?
Never heard of Rayfish but just googled, it’s a mesh VPN so probably wouldn’t want to push that through a reverse proxy to authelia, it would just slow it down…
I personally use wireguard as my VPN, not tailscale or headscale or any of that but I do understand some people need something that can get around CGNAT or other issues.
