Agreed here about just doing https, I've just always used straight ipsec/openvpn, or later a https sslvpn to connect home to things when allowed. Never really had a need otherwise to host 80 or smtp, and back then they even blocked 443. At some point later they stopped filtering https (think Partington mentioned this - thanks again!), which made life easier at least to present some form of web externally, so long as your users were smart enough to put https:// first, or use a redirect service in front as mentioned. Past few years, I use https://www.zerotier.com for connecting all my hosts vs. traditional vpn to connect behind firewalls/filters, which gives me always on vpn between any of my hosts that run the client and join my SDN network there. Runs on pretty much everything, including my various pi/arm linux systems, android, whatever really, and give you 100 clients for free. This gives me essentially a layer 2 network between all my hosts, minus multicast propagation (damn mdns address restrictions). I love this service, and recently noticed they have a hardware offering on kickstarter even. -mb On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 6:38 PM, Stephen Partington wrote: > My solution is to run everything on https with a lets encrypt cert and a > port 80 to 443 redirect via my Domain registrar. > > On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 6:30 PM, der.hans wrote: > >> Am 19.
