“Secure” and “exposed” are antonyms in this scenario, that’s the nature of the beast. I use Nginx which I have a domain pointing to. Worst case scenario, a hacker brute forces access to my container and mucks around within the confines. As I understand from a WireGuard VPN, there’s an added level of security. You have to use the VPN to get access to your home ports, and then you can access your Docker containers as configured. There’s an added layer of security.

Some things to consider:

• Do you have a target on your back?
• Does your container contain sensitive data?
• If so, does your container have access to external directories?
• Does your project have security options like Geo Blocking, rate limiting, etc?

I’ve been running some local servers for a few years only behind Nginx. So far nothing bad has happened. But that doesn’t mean something bad couldn’t happen later.

I’m also a stranger without a source, but I recall seeing a YouTube video about it years ago, either a news story or documentary. I don’t know if the exact numbers are right but I remember the other details. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

Update: no idea. Can’t find the original video. The one I remember, the guy had been awake the whole time but a nurse had figured out how to communicate with him through eye blinking, he remembers his mom’s senseless comment years previous. OP might be mixing stories. I do vaguely remember ghost boy though.

I’m not exactly sure who is behind all the Fossify apps but I’m impressed with their momentum.

I’m intrigued. And although I read the article, I’m not entirely sure who or what this is for. It’s cool, but… what?

Kagi! You can block websites so they don’t show up. It’ll also flag websites that contain a lot of spam or ads.

I’ve had a consistently unbiased experience with Tangle: https://www.readtangle.com/about/

Ah, that makes sense then.

Well they have to send the tickets somewhere, don’t they?

Is it possible that your phone is killing the VPN client to free up memory? Does it reconnect immediately upon reopening OpenVPN?

I’ve been using their GrayJay desktop app, and I’ve enjoyed it so far.

I haven’t checked out FreeTube but maybe this is the push I need.

I’ve had a good experience with GrayJay. It’s a bit young and missing features but it’s never broken for me.
