Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn't that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!

Thank you for not only taking the time to answer but also adding quite useful resources. I will look into it!

 

This may be a simple question, but I could not find resources on that. Does creating a VPN into my home network using my router increase my attack surface? What are the security implications of that in general?

That seems to be the only viable option. Someday I need to build something like this myself.

I wish this was the case, but my Oneplus Nord does not have any "smart" features.

 

Hey guys, I'm searching for a good app that can do the text recognotion stuff the iPhone can. I have a iPhone for work and was quite impressed that it recognizes text and links that good. Is there anything like it on Android? Bonus points if its Open Source.

I am quite impressed by the funders, German state and Mozilla. Wow.

That seems like quite a large endavour. And I'm always a fan of alternatives. One thing I do not fully understand is the, I do not want to selfhost so its federated. Somebody needs to host in the end, why can't it be you?

 

Hey guys simple question: Do you use self hosting solutions like CasaOS or Yunohost? Why or why don't you?

This is more of a out of curiousity question since I am currently experimenting with different setups. ATM I prefer self hosting solutions because of the easiness of adding services.

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.

The two main reasons I decided to opt for a VPS was, that I don't have a PC here that is efficient enough and the faster fresh installs and snapshots are a pro too.

Thanks this is quite helpful!

 

Hey guys,

I finally come around and started the journey of self-hosting and decided to get a VPS. After securing it, by making login via public-key default, I installed CasaOS and instantly regretted it since it now can be reached freely from the internet. A while ago, I read that you can limit the incoming connection to only VPN and ssh. And configured a Wireguard-VPN on the server via pivpn. But the server can still be reached from the internet. So what do I have to do now? Is it even the right choice, or am I missing something? How do you guys secure your VPS?
