How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet? (lemm.ee)

The only externally accessible service is my wireguard vpn. For anything else, if you are not on my lan or VPN back into my lan, it’s not accessible.

This is the way.

Funnily enough it’s exactly the opposite way of where the corporate world is going, where the LAN is no longer seen as a fortress and most services are available publically but behind 2FA.

Corporate world, I still have to VPN in before much is accessible. Then there’s also 2FA.

Homelab, ehhh. Much smaller user base and within smackable reach.

Oh right. The last three business I’ve worked in have all been fully public services; assume the intruder is already in the LAN, so don’t treat it like a barrier.

Can I ask your setup? I'd like to get this for myself as well.

[–] flawedFraction@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Try pivpn. It is meant to run on a raspberry pi, but it should work on most Ubuntu and Debian based distributions.

Not OP but… I have an old PC as a server, Wireguard in docker container, port-forward in the router and that’s it

[–] RedNight@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Which image? I've seen a few wireguard options on docker hub

Linuxserver

Sorry, haven't logged on in a bit. I use OPNSense on an old PC for my firewall with the wireguard packet installed.

Then use the wireguard client on my familys phones/laptops that is set to auto connect when NOT on my home wifi. That way media payback, adguard-home dns and everything acts as seamless as possible even when away while still keeping all ports blocked.

Not OP, but I just use ZeroTier for this since it's dead simple to setup and free. I'm sure there's some 100% self-hosted solutions, but it's worked for me without issue.
