Apologies accepted, seems like I missed something:)

Thanks for the great sarcasm mate

Using Pi’s to run services in my homelab which I want to keep separate from my server (to have some sort of failover in case the server goes down). Status/Monitoring, VPN server and so on

Can someone please help me out? I don’t get it

This seems like the right way - informing users, those who don’t care don’t care with or without. I’d say that’s fully withing the freedom philosophy

Looks smooth, I am running Homer (different to Homerr or others). Super easy to configure in yml and looks clean. No fancy features as weather however… or maybe haven’t found it ^^

I do think I’ll give Homarr another try after looking at yours

Interesting project! I’ll spin it up in the next couple of days and check it out

The domain x.com, which Musk bought ages ago, also redirects to twitter

Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!

But basically I did the following:

• enable ipv4 forwarding
• configure and start VPN tunnel
• set the default route to the tunnel
• set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
• sets routes for the local network to the local gw

If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!

I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.

Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.

What I’m doing is using a dedicated VPN Gateway container. The instances running delicate services have a static default route to the GW-container.

This is an extra step, but allows me add easily route other services or clients or even whole networks through my VPN without additional setup or specialized containers bundling both.

Wanna use it on the phone? Change the gateway address. Wanna use it from my Linux machine? Add a static default route. Etc…

Works flawlessly!

One of my considerations is the privacy side… VPN or self hosted solution seems to be the waay better choice in that case.

Haha! Explaining for dummies, I like it.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am running Tailscale as a temporary solution to access some services, but I dislike that you have to set firewall rules basically twice (once in your local network and once in Tailscale). I suppose it would be similar for CF?

NetworkChuck does videos for beginners, but sometimes that’s just what an experienced user need ^^ thanks for sharing! Watching the video right now

Thanks for the write up! I’ll definately check out your blog as well. A cloud gateway is something I’ve considered as well (especially when the costs are around $5 monthly). How do you handle authentication?

One of the mysteries I am facing ^^ selfhost headscale? Tailscale? VPN? CF?

Too many options :D

Try Resilio Sync. Running it for 5+ years now and did not have a single synchronization issue. Syncing around 5 devices flawlessly, instantly and error free (not sponsored)

the fuckening just doesnt stop. u/Spez lost complete touch with the platform itself.

But hey, they own the joint. they can make their own decisions.
