LewdLemon@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThat’s fair, but I still can’t see how a VPN connection makes your stuff less accessible.

Just by making it so I can’t access from a system I don’t control. Like say I need to retrieve a document from my house, but I’m in a SCIF, or a waiting room, or anywhere else I wouldn’t have my personal device, it’s super useful to just connect to something like Nextcloud and pull it down.

I didn’t say you should put your Nextcloud instance behind a VPN. Mine is public too.
I’m saying you should put your administrative access behind a VPN. SSH, reverse proxy admin panel, you name it. You need not do administrative stuff from work.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with that, honestly two VPNs are better given you wouldn’t want your normal VPN to terminate into your management vlan. I thought we were just discussing normal homelab stuff, all administrative stuff should really be oob.
