Manjaro. It broke a few times. Then I used plain arch ca 2 years without anything breaking. (Their was no guided installer yet)

The last 2 years I have been happy with opensuse Tumbleweed. Of course I have experiment a bunch of others too. Including running distros on servers.

I think a big improvement to these test would be to show what actually gets send. You can do this with a certificate and a proxy.

Yup perfectly sums it up.

Yeah or you sleep on the couch…😆 Joke aside. Yes I also run it on a dedicated device. I use one of those dell micro PCs.

Yeah. Often being open and good at the same time doesn’t happen. I hope steam will change that.

And banning if you where not the owner of the device. So you couldn’t even share it with your friends.

I am still and will wait for a much more open platform that is Linux compatible.

Instead of giving a unhelpfull response, point the op to where he’s question might be better suited.

Like the selfhosted instance.

Perhaps also take a look at Mikrotik

Look in to I2P

You can route things over ssh like RDP for example. Used that a few times to remote in too a desktop at home. Can’t install a VPN on most company and school devices. But ssh is build in to windows.

Or a openwrt to make it L3

Can you elaborate why you think you need much more PCIe network cards? Technically you can do with 1 single LAN port with all your VLANs.

You configure the VLANs on the router then make a single trunk port to a switch. then have that switch divide the VLANs on the ports you desire. this can be a L2 switch.

What is holding you back in regards to VLANs?

Configure the firewall with a IP whitelist to only allow connections to ssh be made from your home IP.

Other then that, disable password logon for ssh and setup up key based authentication.

I know their is one at I2P not sure about tor yet.

I never needed it until now…

Anyways thanks for letting me know. Looks like I be going to the store. As the puck in the card is defiantly wrong in that case…

I don’t really agree with you here. If you take the time to set things up properly. And prepare for IF something would happen. Your fine. Been running a exposed jellyfin server for years now. Never hat a security issue. And even if I would, not much harm could be done anyway due to how it is setup.

I don’t even need to use a VPN to be forced to login…

If you still like some manual dependency control. Slackware is your friend 😁

When does this stupid joke of a EU law end…
