forgive me here as I am very new to this.

let's say that I am connecting a home server to an EC2 instance via OpenVPN. I want the EC2 elastic IP to resolve to the home server --effectively making my home server (blocked by ISP NAT) public. Doing this should be a matter of assigning public IP traffic to resolve to the private IP of my server registered on the OpenVPN, but I can't for the life of me figure this out. Where to start? Apache? iptables? something else entirely?
