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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

AFAICT, if a Netflix account owner sets up a VPN for their household, then anyone sharing the account who routes their Netflix traffic through that VPN would appear to be accessing Netflix from that household's WAN IP address.

Is anyone doing this? Is it really that simple or are there more challenges?

EDIT: We get it, you like torrenting. Let's keep comments on topic folks.

What hardware do you use to avoid slowdowns?

That’s a pretty good solution I suppose.

In all locations presumably? Do you know if it's indistinguishable from you being at your main residence? Like are there any technical ways a service you're connecting to could tell that you're going through a VPN? (Just curious BTW!)

No one location has DSL and the other 5G. Both have around 200 Mbits but thats totally fine.

Ot’s completely indistinguishable from my main location and nobody can see I am using VPN.
