    Self-Hosting & ISP Challenges: CG-NAT, Upload Speed, and Workarounds - Share Your Experiences!

    I have a pretty similar setup, with a DigitalOcean VPS with a reverse proxy for direct connections for certain apps (like jellyfin) which need higher bandwidth and other apps accessed via Tailscale. So far has worked without any issues. That's pretty cheap for a VPS, could you link which one...

    Guide Home Lab - Thread

    Yes, agreed. What I meant above is that I have no special use case of a static IP with my setup, as with Tailscale I can connect to my servers from anywhere. Additionally I run one ingress on port :443, which handles all services in hosted here, routed via different subdomains. So its pretty...

    Guide Home Lab - Thread

    I deliberately avoid exposing these services to the wider internet, as I don't want to deal with the complexities of securing this setup for public access.

    0-20k Has anyone bought Mini PC from Amazon?

    I got a Lenovo M900 tiny from Amazon for my homelab. It has been running 24x7 for close to 2 years at this point. I did not really use it for day-to-day computing much, but did install Windows on it just to test once. It was pretty smooth overall, and given the ones you are going for are much...

    Help!! Upload Speed sucks on my PC.
