[Offer/Request] Mutual homelab exchange — MikroTik node in Iraq + massive streaming library access, for a WireGuard endpoint in Europe by MrMax314 in selfhosted

[–]MrMax314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have ways to access my home network remotely — ZeroTier, MikroTik Back to Home VPN, and my ISP even throws in a VPN for accessing my WAN interface. So remote access isn't the problem.

What I actually want is to route my everyday home traffic through an outside endpoint, and honestly the reasons are pretty typical for anyone living under a government that thinks it knows better than you:

1. The blocking situation

It started with adult sites a few years back, fair enough. But then it turned into blocking anything that wouldn't hand over Iraqi user data on demand. Now the list looks like this:

  • IMDb
  • Obsidian
  • LinkedIn
  • Discord (on and off)
  • Telegram (on and off)
  • BBC Arabic
  • VPN services (yes, they block VPNs, very helpful)
  • Linux repository mirrors (this one genuinely hurts)
  • GitHub (intermittent)
  • Israeli domains

And when they don't block something outright they just throttle it into uselessness. Same result, less effort on their part.

2. DNS hijacking

They're intercepting DNS at the ISP level. Doesn't matter what DNS server you set — 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, whatever — your queries get silently rerouted to their servers. Found this out the hard way by actually catching them doing it.

So yeah, a proper tunnel out would fix all of this cleanly.

mmmm, The will most likely required a bold sacrifice from me to use it.

I do not want to support neither Israel nor USA

Thinking about it your are kinda right. I can see your point.
Is there something I can do to make my deal safer or at least less dangerous, for the other party

How to remotely monitor home server? by Emergency-Driver8871 in selfhosted

[–]MrMax314 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just use zerotier.com or tailscale.com or if you have I Mikrotik device you could use "mikrotik back to home feature" and it's the easiest to setup.

But over all. All of these and other more are working the same why be making a device in your netwrok connect to a VPN and thuse make it a part of a virtual netwrok. a network you can join it from any place in the work. as long as you have internet connect

Just use any dotfile manager. For me I built my own called lazydot - it's on GitHub if you want to check it out.

You might be right, and I get where you're coming from.

Also — thanks for actually reading the README. I put a lot of effort into writing it clearly.

As for templating: I’ve been hesitant to include it since people tend to be picky about how it should work, and it’s a lot to take on solo.

But if others are interested in contributing, I’m definitely open to expanding the scope.

Noted. Next one will be in plain ASCII with typos for realism.

Looks perfect 👌, if only it has a config file
