I’ve been doing small hosting off and on for a while. Mainly for accessing files at home and the occasional Minecraft server. Not smart, as I’ve never used a specialized router. I used to use ddwrt, but now it’s impossible to flash most consumer grade routers.
id like to learn more stuff about cyber security, host other stuff, maybe host a website, but I’m just a guy who lives in an apartment. I’m stuck with 1 Internet service that claims it will terminate my service if they find me to be hosting anything. They must be semi-lax with that rule, because i haven’t gotten terminated for using ssh and cockpit.
Do you guys own a house, or are just fortunate enough to have access to an ISP that will let you host your own stuff?
Fortunately I have 700/700, it’s a dynamic IP so when that changes my services can blip. I use a SWAG container that sorts out everything I need to map services to certified https addresses on my own domain.
I recently changed my main hypervisor from UNRAID to Proxmox… though I’m running UNRAID as a VM under proxmox to manage my storage and I’m still porting services from UNRAID to proxmox.
My next step will be to setup a software router ( either OPNsense or pfsense ) and route some of my traffic through a VPS to remove the issues of having a dynamic IP.
