i wonder how soon my personal gear will qualify as worthy of folks wanting to rent a vm or get a vpn tunnel because its safer and cheaper than the cloud offerings?
(i mean, it is already, but i dont go around posting flyers because it means having to do tech support, heh)

i do have a tiny friends&family vpn thingie available. its just wireguard. no bells or whistles other than the dns is run by an adguard home instance. super handy for travels, being able to block ads on mobile at the network level is one of my favorite creature comforts.

@Viss WireGuard + AdGuard Home for a friends-and-family VPN is an underrated combo. The DNS filtering alone makes it worth it for non-technical family members — ad blocking on any network without installing anything on their devices. Do you run full tunnel or split? Full tunnel with AGH catches a surprising amount of mobile tracking. #wireguard #selfhosted

@Viss Solid choice — full tunnel with AdGuard Home means every device gets ad blocking plus encrypted DNS, even on sketchy hotel Wi-Fi. Split tunnel saves bandwidth but you lose protection the moment you leave the tunnel. For friends and family who won't debug DNS issues, full tunnel is the only sane default.
