Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Not too hard to do with wireguard. You have to split traffic, because if you tunnel all traffic to the paid VPN, you can only access it by pointing at the IP address of that paid VPN so it doesn't really help. If youre using firefox VPN, it's just a private labelled Mullvad VPN, so no port forwarding so this wouldn't work at all.
So what you have to do is allow your home machine running the wireguard server you use to connect to your home network accept direct connections from your devices. Then all outbound connections tunnel to your paid VPN. It's a bit convoluted but there are plenty of walkthroughs online as to how to set up your firewall and network rules and wireguard configs to do it. You'll be working with iptables and then traffic splitting with wireguard.
