Comment on Home server tips and security for beginners?
CatLikeLemming@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months agoI was considering the VPN option, but as you mentioned for game servers that’s not reasonable, and for some of the collaborative tools I’d prefer being able to give people I don’t trust that much access, for instance people at work/university, to work together with them on whatever would be needed.
If I just decided to make the home server a home-only server, that would ease a lot of my worries. I guess I could get a personal one, with sensitive info but only home network access, and just rent a second one? It’s not like they’re that expensive if you’re just doing small-scale things and find a decent provider

You can always do both and expose some services outside your network and keep the others local only while still being able to access them yourself with a vpn.
