I have home server hosting a website (internal) with some web API and static pages. I can access this site internally via //<ip address>:80 in a browser. However, the wireguard VPN is on a different ip address block and when remotely acesseing the network through the VPN the //<ipaddress>:80 does not work. Is there any way to access this machine through the VPN? also is there a way to set up the DNS to route to that ip with a more user friendly address, or a way to use the machine name and Domain to do the same?

  Are you routing all traffic through the VPN? If so, you should be able to see that server as long as you don't have any rules blocking it from the WireGuard network to the LAN. If no rules, then you might want to check your httpd.conf (apache if you have it) and make sure you are not blocking the IP address range. You might need to add an "Allow" for the WireGuard network there. I've had to do that with my Work Computer to allow work VPN to access my web server on my local machine.
