Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Honestly I'm not familiar with OpenWRT, but I would guess you can set up a VPN using OpenWRT without a Pi (assuming your router has the CPU muscle to run that). I know you can do it with PFsense and OPNsense.And I think the whole point of setting up a VPN is to AVOID port forwarding. It's safer to have no ports forwarded.
You are right, it is possible to set up a wireguard VPN on OpenWRT and I am planning to do that. At this point getting the Pi running is more like an exercise to get to know OpenWRT better.
