  • You could try using ssh reverse proxy and proxy the port to the vps.

    Another way is to setup wireguard on the vps, connect the powerfull machine to it and keep it always connected there. ( This isn’t really a good options since then all traffic is moved thrkught the vps )

    There is also grok I think that’s the name.

    In general I think ssh reverse port proxy would be a decent way and then you can use a reverse proxy on the vps like nginx or caddy ( you need one that works on the host network )



  • I honestly only know of a windows one called simplewall.

    I used to use it to outright block windows telemetry, microsoft services, apps, …

    It also helped me to save a lot of bandwith in regards to windows and all the stuff that comes preinstalked with it.

    I havent searched for one for linux, mostly because 90% of apps I run are cli tools that don’t require internet connection, but I’m sure there is probably one that exists.




  • To keep your system secure no matter what, you open up only the ports you absolutely need.

    People will always make a mistake while configuring software, a firewall is there to make sure that error is caught. With more advanced firewall’ you can even make sure only certain app’s have access to the internet to make sure only what you absolutely need toconnect to the internet does.

    In general it’s for security, but can also be privacy related depending on how deep you want to get into it.

    EDIT: It isnt about not trusting other devices on your netork,or software you run, or whether you are runni g a server. It’s about general security of your system.
