Hi, my current setup is the following
Windows server pc with hyperV (it’s a weird choice I know but I wanted to experiment with stuff I’m also using at work) hosting some VMs:
- OPNSense (doing dhcp server)
- owncloud (personal cloud)
- pihole
Till yesterday I had a fix public IP to reach my owncloud via port forwarding from my work laptop and as well my two desktop (outside my network)
Can you suggest a more secure way of doing it? Any general other suggestion to make my setup better?
Thank you
PS: i have no budget constrain but I’m usually not prompt to waste money :D
Disable that port forwarding on your router, and install a wireguard server and forward that port only.
It’s free and works like a charm. It’s simple and elegant, and I can access all my containers from everywhere in the world!
Dunno your work policies, and what you’re allowed to setup or not, but this is the “best way” I know.
Any guide you suggest? I don’t speak very well “Linux” but I can follow procedures and build on that
It has been a while since I setup my wireguard server, if you host it on a linux system It can be easy as:
The first time you delve into, it can be Intimidating (at that time I was a total CLI/linux noob) if you are a beginner, but I think you will easily find your way :)
This tutorial seems rather complete and easy to follow with comments. Also, if you didn’t know, do not blindly copy/past the commands from the web directly in your CLI.
