I'm curious to see what information I'm blasting out to the various services I depend on for internet (ISP, DNS, probably Cloudflare, etc.).

Are there any easy to setup, entirely self-hosted tools I can run on my home network that would allow me to snoop on my own traffic.

I want more than just DNS, so I'm not just looking for pihole and its ilk. I want to see things like SNI and any non-protected traffic that any of the devices on my network might be sending that I just don't know about.

Ideally, it would be something I could leave on without affecting my speed/latency, but something to turn on occasionally and spot check would be better than nothing.

My router runs VyOS, so I should have quite a bit of flexibility in what I do with my traffic, though I never have figured out if/how to deploy custom software to it…

    I appreciate you. 🙏 I have been considering looking into hardening my home network, but I dreaded the idea of figuring out which tools weren’t just sponsored SEO-optimising AI-generated time-wasting network-snooping bullshit. This gives me somewhere to start.
