That is exactly what I do. Except that I use Lutris for the better logging and debugging options. Just create an empty proton prefix ("bottle") and run the installer.exe. Sometimes you might need to install the visual c++ redistributables first (download and run the exe, then run installer.exe).

You can still use a reverse proxy and custom domain names so inside the VPN network everything is HTTPS and each service has a nice domain name.
