My home server VPN is IPv4. The VPN provider I have uses both IPv4/6. Neither of those work.

At this point I am inclined to believe the network carrier is performing DPI as I also can’t use OpenVPN on TCP 80 and TCP 443, which are generally hard to block unless provider is intentionally looking into it…at least that’s my understanding.

I am on a trip and using a local carrier in the country I am currently staying at, carrier is called Zain.

I have a Wireguard tunnel running on my home server back home in the US. I am currently outside of the US and that Wireguard tunnel won’t connect if I am on cellular connection for this one specific provider that I am using atm.

I have never attempted to use Tor as a VPN on my iOS device, how is the performance in terms of making Signal calls for example?

I used the IP + MAC address of the devices I want to block.

Thank you.

To your point, one example that comes to mind is that I have read many people complaining about cloudflare, saying it’s “evil” and over extending. While I agree on the aspect of Cloudflare being sort of a monopoly, I am not sure what else to use to route some of my traffic to my services running at home without explicitly opening up ports to the internet by using a reverse proxy for example.

In that regard, Cloudflare has access to my traffic and data could theoretically leak that way, but I am not sure what is a safer and better alternative to it.

I feel I am missing out on other things and that I could do much better though.

Like you said, aside from a tinfoil hat, I think my setup is very basic and can be improved.

I ordered it yesterday 😂

Thanks for the suggestion though. I really appreciate it.

I would be more than glad to connect and learn from more experienced people. DM is fine or do you prefer something else?

Aside from iOS, I am already there. Soon enough, I hope, I will migrate from Apple’s ecosystem. Already have my Linux box setup and functional recently. One step at a time.

Not taking it to the extreme here, being more realistic with what can be done in today’s society.

Can’t really move to the woods and be cut off from the internet, sadly enough that’s not something we can do nowadays.

To navigate to the previous folder

cd -

To reissue the previous command with a prefix. For example:

cat /root/.ssh/authorized_keys # Will fail without privilege

sudo !!

To use the argument of the previous command. For example:

tac ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # oops, misspelled cat

cat !$

I’ll show myself out.
