This is 2015 all over again where IoT hit mainstream consumers and every project on Kickstarter was a simple thing that doesn’t need Bluetooth with added Bluetooth.

I have setup NetBird with Authentik. Netbird is on a VPS and authentik on my home server.
NetBird allows to expose a service through a subdomain. Or you can use the netbird client as a VPN and allow peer to peer connection.
- Comment on How do I get started designing and making and/or acquiring my own pcb? 1 year ago:
Not OP you are replying to, but make your own library of parts and footprint, and back it up.
Nothing worst than finding a library online with the part you need only to find that the footprint is not the right one for whatever reason when you ordered the pcb.
It takes more time, but once you have one or two projects under the belt, you will already have 90% of the parts and only need to do a few parts.
When doing your own footprints, if you have the part with you, print the new footprint in the original size on a printer, as they will appear on the PCB, and put the part on the footprint to see if it makes sense. You will see right away if you have a glaring issue with the footprint.
Spend a few hours double, triple checking your PCB design before fab . It takes a lot less time to do that than debugging the hardware. It will reduce your costs, especially as a hobbyist where you aren’t paid by the hour.
If you need a batch order, order prototypes first. A lower volume first will be a bit more expensive, but buying 50+ borked PCB will be a bitch to fix.
