I'm looking to expand and further secure my home server, and I've been poking around at the FUTO self hosting guide, and as a result I'm looking to host OpenVPN then connect to my services through that.

However, is it safe to have the machine running OpenVPN connected to my router, with my router operating normally, but forwarding the port to the OpenVPN server?

Then once I'm into that, I'd connect to what I'd like. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this would offer me sufficient security, correct?

I do have a backup RPi that I might end up turning into a router as the FUTO guide suggests, but I'd rather not mess with my network where possible, plus I'd need to buy a switch.

Hi folks,

TL;DR: my remaining issue seems to be firefox specific, I've otherwise made it work on other browsers and other devices, so I'll consider this issue resolved. Thank you very much for all your replies and help! (Edit, this was also solved now in EDIT-4).

I'm trying to setup HTTPS for my local services on my home network. I'm gotten a domain name mydomain.tld and my homeserver is running at home on let's say 192.168.10.20. I've setup Nginx Proxy Manager and I can access it using its local ip address as I've forwarded ports 80 and 443 to it. Hence, when I navigate on my computer to http://192.168.10.20/ I am greeted with the NPM default Congratulations screen confirming that it's reachable. Great!

Next, I've setup an A record on my registrar pointing to 192.168.10.20. I think I've been able to confirm this works because when I check on an online DNS lookup tool like https://centralops.net/CO/Traceroute as it says `192.168.10.20 is a special address that is not allowed

Hello everyone :)

My Linux learning and Homelab setup is going smoothly and after a long period of stagnation, I'm in a new learning curve :D ! I just learned the magic of hard links and implemented them with bind mounts (yeah hard links only work on the same file system :P) to my Qbittorrent scripting to automagically move them as hard links to a bind mount accessible to Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin... and move, rename and do all other things without even touching the original files: PUR MAGIC !

Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)

While I'm overjoyed I learned and have a better understanding of files, hard links, soft links, file system, docker, web, all kind of things related to IT... I'm getting kinda overwhelmed of what's happening on my system !!

• I have a dozen docker compose on my server, all behind traefik resolved by my piHole DNS on a raspberry pi, some have a custom image made by myself for certificate purpose or some manual cha

I have multiple things running through a reverse proxy and I've never had trouble accessing them until now. The two hospitals are part of the same company, so their network setup is probably identical.

Curiously, it's not that the sites can't be found, but instead my browser complains that it's not secure.

So I don't think it's a DNS problem, but I wonder what the hospital is doing to the data.

All I could come up with in my research is this article about various methods of intercepting traffic. https://blog.cloudflare.com/performing-preventing-ssl-stripping-a-plain-english-primer/

Since my domain name is one that requires https (.app), the browser doesn't allow me to bypass the warning.

Is this just some sort of super strict security rules at the hospital? I doubt they're doing anything malicious, but it makes me wonder.

Thanks!

Hi guys I recently stumbled upon this website where you can get a eu.org sub domain (example.eu.org for instance).

I noticed though that domains aren't created instantly. I'm curious if there is human review to get domians processed and if it generally takes a long time to make domains using them.
