Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can host overseas and use a proxy for hosting. I mostly don't worry about it though because I don't do anything illegal.
I don't plan on doing anything illegal myself, but apparently that's not enough.
Where overseas can I be free of legal issues? Can you elaborate on what you mean by using a proxy for hosting?
If you're not doing anything illegal/copyright violating, then you can host whatever you want. Self-hosting isn't illegal, in fact it's what nearly every business does in some fashion. It's just risky from an intrusion perspective
But if you're going to host something, it should be via a secure channel - a VPN, Reverse Proxy from a VPS, Mesh Network (perhaps with a web-hosted entry point), etc.
He's talking about user generated content from other users.
Assuming you are in the US legally you won't have issues. If your illegal that's a different story and you are going to be in trouble regardless
