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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

@selfhosted strange problem. I have a raspberrypi as vpn gateway. I have a reolink cctv. It emails me when motion. If i use openvpn, it works fine. If i use wireguard, it does not work. If i connect to the vpn gateway on my laptop, openvpn and wg forward the laptop traffic fine. The openvpn and wg is connects to the same commerical vpn service.

Maybe DNS or something in the WG config?

So the Pi connects to a commercial VPN?

@AtariDump yeah. I cam use openvpn or wireguard, would like to use wireguard as a lot faster

Try taking pieces out until you narrow down the issue.

IE: bring a WG tunnel up direct between your phone and home without the commercial VPN. Keep adding layers back in until something breaks.

Are you using FQDNs (Full Qualified Domain Names)? WireGuard doesn’t resolve FQDNs.

@AtariDump did a tcpdump, and dns is working, have self hosted pihole. It is really strange.
