i've recently figured out how dynamic DNSs work, i am unstoppable.
now i just need to figure out how to encrypt traffic...
LetsEncrypt offers free SSL certificates, if you're familiar with reverse proxies then it's not too difficult to implement. I have mine set up to automatically renew my wildcard cert, then send a special signal to the nginx docker container for it to reload the SSL certs
A more onedrive/google drive-like alternative to Nextcloud would be Syncthing, which is E2EE and doesn't need additional config of SSL certs and the like
I got some angry letters from my ISP when I was younger for using dynamic DNS, ranging from it being a virus to it violating their terms.
No idea of they still get pissy about it or not.
what a shitty ISP. but i'm one to talk, i'm basically limited to two daughter companies of Telekom. god, internet sucks here.
They sold business packages and wanted us to buy one
