Oh noes! Who could have seen this coming?

that’s a good point. I’ve only used caddy for handling certs for all the docker containers on my server. for local uses, you generally don’t need certs, although there are some apps that communicate with an offsite db that requires a secure connection.


That’s a good point. I may just sign up for Proton VPN.


my ISP mostly. Just want to avoid getting a copyright warning from them. Hasn’t been a problem, just being safe.


I keep hearing about WireGuard being better, but also harder to set up and configure, so I went with Openvpn. I’ll look into WireGuard, and see if I’m brave enough to set that up. For the hosting company, they didn’t point out anything against p2p traffic in their TOS. 🤷♂️


Since I already have a vps to run websites and other stuff, I just wanted to spin up my own instance of Openvpn on the same vps in a docker container, so it wasn’t any additional cost. If Openvpn doesn’t work well for me, I may just go with a basic VPN like you said. I don’t torrent enough to need a seedbox. I’m just a filthy casual when it comes to torrenting. 😛


Thanks for the info, very useful. I’m generally trying to hide my traffic from my ISP, when I’m torrenting some movies. I’m not doing a ton of p2p stuff. Not enough to need a seedbox. I’ll share/seed some stuff from my local hard drive. Nothing sits in my vps.
I understand that although the IP addresses I connect to can be hidden from my ISP by my own instance of openvpn, it doesn’t hide that my vps is connecting to those IP addresses. I think I’m okay with that. I’m not connecting to super sketchy sites. Generally, I’m trying to avoid getting some copyright warning letter from my ISP. Although that’s never been an issue, I just thought I’d be safe.
My vps has a domain name, but it does have privacy protection where my name won’t show up on a whois lookup. Not sure how much that helps, but I thought it was good to have.
In terms of a good p2p vpn services, it seems like a lot of the usual ones being advertised on podcasts and youtube are bad about privacy, and it seems like Proton may be the only one that I know of that seems good. Any recommendations for good vpns are welcome. I may just go that route if Openvpn isn’t good enough.


I looked into that, and decided against it cuz I like having a vps where I can also do other stuff with, like my own self hosted vpn. Small stuff.


I was driving home from LA with a friend. While on the freeway, in the middle of nowhere, and no cars near us, we hear a noise like a hand knocking on the driver side backseat window. There was only the two of us sitting in the front, and there was nothing in the back seats. We confirmed with each other that we both heard the noise, and that it was strange. I was very curious, and it was daytime, so I pulled over to the side to check things out. Nothing. Even a highway patrol officer stop by to check up on us. (Don’t worry, we didn’t get shot, even though we were non-white, it was a less divided time back then).
To this day, I cannot even imagine what could have made that knocking sound on the window. 😬

Yeah, my hostnames are Futurama themed 👍


Up to your preference. I do suggest making an alias for it so it automatically downloads to a specific directory.

Someone call Alanis Morisette 🤣


Human dignity? That was a lost cause a long time ago.


Yeah, I mean, dealing with issues like this is still better than being on a corporate monarchy like twitter or fb 🤷♂️
