Starting a new experiment: turning a Raspberry Pi into a “privacy gateway” you connect to from your PC, so all traffic goes through a VPN (and whatever extra layers I add later).

A tiny box sitting between you and the Internet, filtering and protecting everything.

Let’s see where this goes 😄

@nickbearded nick pls think about adding a ssl/tls proxy like polar proxy, it is open source #crt

@gary_alderson If I had a proper server, I’d totally consider adding something like PolarProxy, it’s a cool idea!
But on an SBC I’m afraid I’d just turn the poor thing into a space heater 😅
Still, thanks a lot for the suggestion, Gary, really appreciated!

@nickbearded for most people they are not going to have tons of traffic so it may be a bit less compute intensive? it may be something to try out

@gary_alderson True, with low traffic it might be manageable, but on an SBC I’m still a bit scared of turning it into a mini‑oven 😅
For now I’ll keep the setup lightweight, but I might experiment with it later 👍🏻
Thanks again for the idea, Gary!
