Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yeah qbitorrent has this in their settings iirc.
Do ifconfig before VPN, then after. Identify what your VPN connection is (likely TUN0). Then you tell qbitorrent to ONLY use the VPN one.
That way if you suddenly lose VPN service it won't fall back to your actual IP. (This is how the guy that hacked ubiquity got caught).
I know about that setting, but this was different. It relies on Linux permissions. Like you have a dedicated 'user' for running qBit, and that user has no privileges for any network interface other than the VPN.
Sounds like network namespaces.
Yeah that rings a bell. Weirdly I woke up this morning to an abuse complaint from my hosting provider after years of no issues.
