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

    If this is a question about how to access your server at home from devices anywhere, securely, with a simple setup, then the answer is turn off all that port forwarding, and use Tailscale.

      Yesterday I tried installing it on my windows server and it does not run. Like, installation ok, no error, nothing in the sys tray and I can’t execute it either

      ng a DDNS client to register the public IP would be step one, then using haproxy for an inbound proxy rather than port forwarding the traffic. That way you could have ‘owncloud.your.domain’ and ‘otherservice.your.domain’ hosted on the same IP using 80/443 rather than having to forward random ports in.

      I managed to have it run. Horrible the fact that you have to choose between Apple, Microsoft, Google for Tailscale login…
