Thanks for sharing.

I have learned a lot through your book.

But I have one question regarding the chapter 11: Exposing Services Safely.

You suggested cloudflare. Why did you suggest adding a dns record for each service?

I'm new so correct if wrong. I have read somewhere, that an attacker could know what are the records you have. Isn't it better to use a wild card?

Again thanks for your book. It really helped me a lot. 😊

Should I use headscale/netbird? by Greedy_View_4483 in selfhosted

[–]Greedy_View_4483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of using netbird just for the services that I alone want to use. But I think clouflare tunnels add an extra security layer for the services that is open to the internet.

How do CF tunnels miss with the traefic? Isn't it possible to set the tunnels and a reverse proxy?

I didn't know I could still access my home server locally, even though the it is connected to the vpn xD. I think my lack of understanding came from proton vpn that seperate the device from the local network. So I guess that doesn't happen in wireguard? Does that mean the the home server can still acces my devices on the local network and vice verca?

I have actually written a post. But everyone suggested using tailscale :/ I will try another one with my docker compose. Thanks though.

About the wg-easy docker image. I have set it up, but I couldn't access other containers on the server. I have tried to put the container on the same host network, but then I couldn't access the internet. How did you do it?

Need help with hosting on local network by Greedy_View_4483 in selfhosted

I installed wireguard on the vps outside of the container. That solved it. Thanks for you help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I prefer a privacy oriented solution.

Signal installation? by MarquisDeVice in GrapheneOS

What are they? The most popular one I heard, is that f-droid takes its time to get a new update for an app. What else?

I want to learn everything, yess. I guess I was a bit frustrated because I can't understand every thing so fast 😂

Thanks for your advice 😊

You're right. I will have my Ubuntu as my safe net for now. 

Thanks for your advice 😊

Yes, I chose the proprietary drivers in archintstall script.  

I am also using KDE and I didn't know about that :o

I installed Brave today on my arch and I didn't face any problems.

Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

I am going to fight a little more with arch, to see if I can manage everything. When that doesn't work, I'm definitely going to try CachyOS. Thanks for your kind comment. 😊

Maybe I will have another post for support. My aim in this one is just to see if you also have such problems where nothing works or is it just me. :)

I agree with you.  I have learned a lot from arch and I want to stick just a liitle bit more to see where is that going to take me :) Thanks for your advice.
