The point here is that in many jurisdictions doing charity exempts you from certain taxes, and it is possible to shuffle money around under the disguise of philanthropy while still getting all the financial benefits like an actual charity

I would be fairly comfortable running a direct WireGuard connection even without Tailscale, but my location and use case simply won’t allow me to.
Your setup is valid, nothing wrong with it, and yes, it is more secure. Just can’t be used in my case.

I mean any connection through these protocols is just not working over the Internet. DPI equipment detects respective packets and cuts the connection.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 2 days ago:
Yep
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
It’s not illegal to use VPN in my area, but connections are blocked on a protocol level, both through OpenVPN and Wireguard.
I already managed to make caddy work, so, hooray!
I also found a setting on my router that fully isolates certain devices from the local network. I want to put the server in there, so that the rest of my LAN is not under threat. I also want to figure out VLANs.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
That’s a good piece of advice, but die to several considerations (extreme censorship interrupting VPN connections, family accessing the NAS, and some others) I cannot go that route.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
For now I’m only toying around, experimenting a little - and then closing ports and turning my Pi off. I do have my NAS constantly exposed, but it is solidly hardened (firewall, no SSH, IP bans for unauthorized actions, etc. etc.), fully updated, hosts no sensitive data, and all that is important is backed up on an offline drive.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Yep!
For me it’s a sense of reliability and control - my stack will keep working even if new censorship rolls out (I live in a heavily censored and sanctioned jurisdiction), or if there’s a global outage, or whatever else. I am also the sole authority over my piece of the Internet, and no one can do anything to alter it or take it away.

Update: tried Caddy, love it, dead simple, super fast, and absolutely works!
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Yep, sharing stuff for others requires more expertise, as I’ll get responsible for other people’s experience. If I screw something up now, only I will be affected.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Thanks for clarification!
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
For now just some experiments alongside NAS
Planning to host Bitwarden, Wallabag and other niceties on the server, and then when I get something more powerful, spin up Minecraft server and stuff
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
I’d love to eventually have that :)
I’d also love to explore the technology going into cloud gaming, so not only would I launch games using files laying on the server, but could actually play them everywhere on my energy efficient potato laptop :D
But that’s long ahead and more of an “if it even works properly”
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
In what way? It is a physical server located in my bedroom, sharing resources online.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Drives are somewhat noisy (even though I took fairly quiet ones) and I appreciate total silence at night.
I’d love to move to SSDs for storage at some point, but for now it’s too expensive.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Thanks! I got that advice, too, but I would like to keep it self-hosted - I consider using Pangolin on a VPS for that purpose going forward.
Also, beware of the new attack on Cloudflare Tunnel: csoonline.com/…/phishing-campaign-abuses-cloudfla…
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Thanks, I will! Wise of you not to share it publicly.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Yes, I know where this feature is in the settings, but it’s got its own issues and I also turn the NAS off for the night, so it’s not an option for me.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Guess I am going ahead of myself, yes, which gets even more complicated by having another server already installed and messing with things a little.
Thanks for the link! I’ve seen that thumbnail, but most guides are solely focused on actually installing Nginx Proxy Manager, which is the easy part, and skip the rest, so I glanced that one over.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Pretty solid! Though insta-ban on everything :80/443 may backfire - too easy to just enter the domain name without subdomain by accident.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Nice to know!
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Will try!
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Interesting!
But I don’t want to mix it too much. I do have a Docker on it with just some essentials, but overall I’d like to keep NAS a storage unit and give the rest to a different server.
I treat NAS as an essential service and the other server as a place to play around without pressure to screw anything
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
I do remember that and take quite a few precautions. Also, nothing that can be serioisly used against me is in there.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
I will eventually!
But for all I understand, it is to put many services on one machine, and I already have a NAS that is not going anywhere
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
No truly private photos ever enter the NAS, so on that front it should be fine.
VPN is not an option for several reasons, unfortunately.
But I do have a Let’s Encrypt certificate, firewall and I ban IP after 5 unsuccessful login attempts. I also have SSH disabled completely.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Oh, nice! So I don’t have just one, but many external IPs, one for every local device?
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 days ago:
Where do I type rpi’s IP, just in port forwarding? Or somewhere else?
I want for Nginx proxy, controlled through the Manager, to direct traffic to different physical servers based on subdomain.
I put in nas.my.domain and I get my Synology on its DSM port. I put in pi.my.domain and I get a service on my Pi.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 4 days ago:
Just me and the people I trust, but there are certain inconveniences around using VPN for access.
First, I live in the jurisdiction that is heavily restrictive, so VPN is commonly in use to bypass censorship
Second, I sometimes access my data from computers I trust but can’t install VPN clients on
Third, I share my NAS resources with my family, and getting my mom to use a VPN every time she syncs her photos is near impossible
So, fully recognizing the risks, I feel like I have to expose a lot of my services.

While not supportive of Big Tech, I do appreciate your piece of advice, and understand self-hosting needs differ!
