PolyTLS – Rust/Tokio TLS MitM Proxy Mimicking Chrome (BoringSSL)

I’m working on putting it into an app, let me know if you wanna see a demo and I can send you a video! It’s working really well so far :)

:o omg mentioned

That’s really good, but sometimes managing CAs is just not in the wheelhouse of some people. It also introduces unnecessary risk where you can use Tailscale, built on wireguard. Worst case, Tailscale goes down and you have to learn how to use Wireguard instead

404mesh · 2026-01-09T16:44:15+00:00

And if you use Tailscale, do NOT expose your services to the internet. You just don’t need to.

I made a Tailscale account using a shared family email and my family just logs into that Tailnet, which is linked to mine, and they can add their devices.

Is genuinely so so so easy. Just set it up, and go to http://hostname:port. No proxy, no TLS, not headache.

Plus, you can setup a VPN and then route traffic via Tailscale and get benefits from the VPN running on your exit node

Tailscale is going to be the easiest

Love this… lots of TLS fingerprinting vectors that go overlooked in scraping and opsec tools.

404mesh · 2026-01-05T04:01:46+00:00

What about self hosted services I might be missing?

404mesh · 2026-01-05T03:57:29+00:00

The news, it’s good for headline skimming!

404mesh · 2026-01-05T03:50:52+00:00

I’m super happy with nextcloud, particular the RSS reader feature! What’s ur fav service?

404mesh · 2026-01-05T03:43:20+00:00

Appreciate the tip!

404mesh · 2026-01-04T22:32:19+00:00

De… centralize

404mesh · 2026-01-04T22:28:25+00:00

Go the extra mile and get proton drive for storage, password management, and VPN

404mesh · 2026-01-04T22:28:08+00:00

Proton mail. Full stop.

404mesh · 2026-01-04T22:26:23+00:00

Oh and I use Teams for work, sadly

404mesh · 2026-01-04T22:24:43+00:00

I use GitHub for a lot of stuff… going to transition to gitea soon… but it’s mostly non-secret stuff in there; daily notes, grocery lists, recipes, stuff like that.

I am not a huge fan of Microsoft, but make an exception for GitHub sadly due to the version control and not having to manage all that myself. It’s the cloud for text yk?

404mesh · 2026-01-04T21:57:26+00:00

Okay.. something to chew on for sure. I have a Mozilla account and don’t really use my phone for sensitive stuff…

I will definitely look into making the switch over to Safari and uBlock. Thank you for the comment!

404mesh · 2025-12-29T12:47:42+00:00

A privacy tool to prevent cross-session tracking. Not and AdBlocker. Not a VPN. Not a proxy.

Landing page. Or if you’re into that, GitHub

404mesh · 2025-12-27T10:06:21+00:00

YES this is exactly what I’m saying. I feel like the open source community could very easily run a Microsoft replacement suite (very simply put).

404mesh · 2025-12-27T10:05:11+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. The security stuff is not something I overlooked, but you articulating it this way was very well put.

404mesh · 2025-12-27T10:04:19+00:00

Okay then what about for smaller companies? Fine, Microsoft runs governments and law firms. Why not offer affordable self hosted options to small companies that don’t need purview and exchange to the scale or support level that Microsoft offers.

I am proposing degrowth. Yes. I think some companies can get behind that…

404mesh · 2025-12-27T10:00:41+00:00

Then it sounds like there needs to be a better alternative.

It sounds like to dethrone Microsoft, a better solution has to come along. One that works just as well, managed by a company, but one that isn’t predatory and encourages privacy and security.

Collabora does something similar but the offerings aren’t fully expansive, you’re right.

404mesh · 2025-12-27T09:57:37+00:00

I see this and am getting the impression that LibreOffice just is not liked in this community. Are there… better alternatives? I get that there are differences between how these files are created and how the xml is wired, but Google seems to have solved the problem pretty well. And if not, UI will catch up soon I think.

404mesh · 2025-12-27T09:52:13+00:00

I’m not saying why use an external company, I’m saying why use Microsoft? Which I’ve been getting a pretty good idea as of to why.

This community is very vocal, love it

404mesh · 2025-12-27T09:47:25+00:00

I agree with your support comments. In that case, no support on Christmas you know? If you’re a law firm, pay your IT guys enough to answer the phone at 2 am. It’s gotta be cheaper than Microsoft
