I have a self hosted server running yunohost that I use for a few services for my own use all of which require login to use so they’re safe enough.
However I’m increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that anyone can discover my home IP via my domain name. Especially if I decided to install something like Lemmy or Mastodon.
Yunohost installs dyndns as part of it’s setup but, aside from buying a fixed IP from a VPN provider that allows incoming connections I’m not sure what other options I have
I can’t change very much on the modem router either. I can forward ports but that’s about it.
I can add and manage new domains if necessary.
Any and all ideas welcome but, as you can guess from the fact I’m using yunohost, my networking knowledge is limited so please eli5 :)
I’ve hidden everything behind Wireguard.
externally my server doesn’t even have open ports. everyone who uses my services gets a Wireguard key.
don’t know how many people you wanna service or if it’s just you - then Wireguard could be a viable solution
How do you handle services that run on devices that can’t implement wireguard, like say a Roku or something? Just don’t allow?
in my case Wireguard acts as access to my personal LAN, where all my services (in virtual containers or physical computers) are located. I’m just pointing to their address inside my LAN, which I can access through Wireguard.
