BTCPay’s docs have guides for proxying to obtain some amount of clearnet ([https://docs.btcpayserver.org/](https://docs.btcpayserver.org/)) but if you’re saying you set up your VM and host machine to share an IP, that’s probably a bad idea and I don’t know what additional problems you’d face.

For proxying via Tor, I have this guide: [Guide: Bolt cards, Lightning Address and Reverse Proxy all the things](https://community.start9.com/t/guide-bolt-cards-lightning-address-and-reverse-proxy-all-the-things/675)

And yes, in the future this will be easier and pointy-clicky.
