I would ssh into the opnsense box and press 8 to run the shell terminal and then run dmesg and go back to the time the server rebooted, there you can see the events leading up to the shutdown.
That’s awesome, best of luck it stays that way!
Dang, how does your isp feel about that many machines talking out to the internet, have they made you pay for business plans yet?
If you want privacy try njalla. A bit more expensive but they do try hide as much data as possible and I’ve never had any downtime with them.
Yes it’s been like that forever. Before it used to outright block the entire domain.
I just run a full desktop and either use a browser for things like youtube and I have jellyfin media player for other media
I use a beelink nuc, put on Linux and just connect it via HDMI to my tv, this way I have no real restrictions and I can keep it up to date easily.
Great work! Enjoy!
If you know how to use docker look up gluetun, it basically allows you to tunnel everything through the VPN and still access everything locally.
I do this exact thing and after a year or so of running my invidious instance locally I’m not banned and never had any issues and I use it about 5 hours per day give or take. Hope this helps.
Go to ipleak.net and activate the torrent check, paste the magnet link into your torrent app while on VPN and it will tell you what IP address it detects, if it’s not the same as your regular ISP then you can verify that it’s using your VPN and not your standard internet connection.
If it were up to me, the first boot I would make sure theres no internet access either via Ethernet or wifi that ensures the computer cannot phone home to its mothership. From there either reinstall windows fresh or straight to Linux if you want to avoid spyware.
I set up flexo for Arch Linux update caching and squid proxy for Alpine, Debian. This stops me from having to download the same files over and over.
Hey I do this exact thing as well. Would highly recommend if you like self hosting podcasts to listen to.
I use zabbix to monitor everything, agent on each device uses around 30 mb of memory and with the Linux templates it can monitor just about everything on the server.
The way I get around the syncing issue is to set my syncthing to sync when my phone is charging so it’s very unlikely to not be in sync, or if I change a password on the PC I’ll plug my phone into a USB and it syncs straight away.
I also use KeepassDX on Android and never have those issues.
