Ooh. New updates for #PiHole 👍🏻

I absolutely ❤️ Pi-hole (and #PiVPN) for getting rid of pesky adverts across all our computers, laptops, phones, TVs.

Everyone should have one!

I wrote a little something on setting up PiVPN https://chronocide.neocities.org/writing/setting-up-pivpn/. #pivpn #raspberrypi #selfhosting

Asteak daramatzat nire interneteko trafiko guztia Raspberry Pi baten bitartez babesten, Pi-Hole eta PiVPN konboari esker. Proiektutxo polita iruditu zait eta zuekin partekatzea otu zait, nire lorategitxo digitalari hasiera emanez 🙂 🌷

"Chào cộng cấp! Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB đang chạy PiVPN, Jellyfin & Komga. Chỉ 800MB RAM còn. Muốn thêm self-hosting nhạc nhưng sợ hàn hình. Có gợi ý service nhẹ không? #SelfHosting _Vi #RaspberryPi #Jellyfin #Komga #PiVPN #NhoMusic #Linux"

I've been using my own private #VPN 24/7 for over a week now. It runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B with just one GB of RAM. Not a single issue. Throughput is fast enough for me, and it blocks ads through Pi-hole, which is installed on the same little machine.

#Wireguard ist nach dem #Raspbian #Trixie Update auch wieder repariert….
BTW: kann man #PiVPN einfach drüber installieren oder wäre das ne neuinstallation? PiVPN scheint nette Analysetools zur Fehlerbehebung zu haben - aber ich keine Zeit für ne PiHole/VPN Neuinstallation. (Aber eigentlich auch keine für ausufernde Fehlersuche 😬)

New update to the #Homelab Wiki: Updated the existing guide to set up a #WireGuard #VPN server using #PiVPN, and added a new guide to set up a WireGuard VPN server, with a web UI, using the #wg-easy #Docker container.

PiVPN has been rock solid for me for many years, but after testing out WireGuard Easy - having your deployment containerised and having that web interface is pretty nice!

@tarnkappeinfo habe auch verschiedene Arten probiert und bleibe bei #Pihole in Verbindung mit #Pivpn Ruhe für alle Geräte im WLAN und durch die Listen sind alle SmartTV‘s und Alexa und vieles mehr geblockt mit den ständigen Log-Anfragen. Er ist auch einfach zu konfigurieren. Die neue Version 6 ist super gelungen

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT

Virtualization: #Proxmox

Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU

Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN

Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

@joachim_kreativ ja. Ich bin zu Mailbox.org (von Outlook.com) Endlich Ruhe vor Spam und bei jedem
einloggen das Gefühl von Sicherheit. Ich kann und will nicht Angst vor den großen #Datenkraken haben. Aber einfache Umsetzung wie #Mailbox.org, #Pihole, #Pivpn, unterwegs das #Wlan aus #_optout_nomap als Zusatz zu #SSID helfen schon sehr. Man merkt vom ersten Tag an wie es ruhiger mit der #Werbung wird. Sogar meiner Frau fällt das auf 😊

is there a fork of #pivpn out there that, uh, still fucking works? Cause it doesn't anymore

So I've been using #PiVPN for years to set up my personal #Wireguard #VPN server, and it works fine. However, it has been "sort of" deprecated, which isn't a huge deal since it doesn't do much after it sets up your native packages, but it also means it may go away or be unavailable for future installs, so I went looking for an alternative.

Enter this little script simply called "wireguard-install". It's basically just asks some simple questions and sets up Wireguard.

Frage für einen Freund (jetzt wirklich):
Auf meine Empfehlung hin wollte er sich beim dydns-Anbieter dedyn.io bzw. https://desec.io/ für seinen #pivpn / #wireguard anmelden. Aber das scheint (zur Zeit) nicht zu funktionieren.
Gibt es andere empfehlenswerte (die nicht auf AWS & Co hosten) Dienste? #Datenschutz #PrivatsphäreImNetz #DigitaleSelbsverteidigung #dyndnsdienst

rebuilding my #PiVPN endpoint and it's now that I realize:

1. my old endpoint has been stable and working flawlessly for 18 months

2. I didn't fully document the setup 18 months ago

Pro tip:
If you have a server/pc you want to access from home, but have shit upload speeds, get a VPS (there are cheap/free options), set up pivpn, and connect botn your server and client to said vpn, that way you get good speeds AND access

#pivpn #selfhosted #vpn #security

when I want to expose an app running on my home-network:

when you are self-hosting at home, and you want to give friends access to your jellyfin, whats your preferred way of doing this? My focus is on security, but I'm not an expert on this.

Right now, what I have done is, I set up pivpn with a firewall that exposes only the jellyfin ip/port, so that other stuff on my network isn't available to connected users.

However, their whole internet traffic would go through my network now (if not split-tunneled), unless I restrict internet access, which would also be a dick move of me to people who forget to switch off the VPN 😆

I was now thinking about setting up a reverse proxy, instead of this whole VPN idea.

How is the security when I'm using a dynamic DNS, that points to my home-network, where I'm using a reverse proxy to catch the requests and expose only jellyfin? How is the security level of a reverse proxy vs vpn?

Looking forward to reading opinions and ideas!
