infrared proxy: connection refused

Hey, I'm trying to setup a Infrared Proxy for my Minecraft Server which I host on a VPS Server Online and try to connect it to my mc server at home.
I've setup a MC Server at home which I can reach with my public IP over Port 8081 and now I try to connect to it over infrared but I get the error "connection refused" in minecraft.
My Config for infrared looks like this and I've opened port 25565 with iptables on my VPS
{
  "domainName": "domain.vps.server",
  "listenTo": "0.0.0.0:25565",
  "proxyTo": "domain.home.server:8081",
  "timeout": 1000,
  "onlineStatus": {
    "versionName": "1.20.1",
    "protocolNumber": 757,
    "maxPlayers": 20,
    "motd": "hello :)"
  }
}
{
  "domainName": "domain.vps.server",
  "listenTo": "0.0.0.0:25565",
  "proxyTo": "domain.home.server:8081",
  "timeout": 1000,
  "onlineStatus": {
    "versionName": "1.20.1",
    "protocolNumber": 757,
    "maxPlayers": 20,
    "motd": "hello :)"
  }
}

Does my config look fine so far, if yes I may have to look into my vps firewall maybe still blocking the connection.
