Only if your vpn supports port forwarding. Only a few do, so you’d need something like (I think PIA still works, but it’s kinds hacky) AirVPN, or IVPN. You could also go the easier route of just using a reverse proxy that you host or cloudflare proxy, running your own vpn/ssh tunnel or using something like ngrok tunneling or cloudflared (cloudflare tunnels).

At best a reverse IP search can show the general area, no way someone can pin-point your house with it.
Yeah, you're definitely right about that. I would still like to prevent that from happening. I'd rather it shows the general area of a place nowhere near where I'm at.
