Greetings! I currently host a number of services on an old pc in my basement. I have ports 80 and 443 forwarded and am running Nginx Proxy Manager as well as Authelia to protect most of them. I have set up a lemmy instance that I am using as my main point of access to the fediverse. I guess I have two questions. I am assuming that hiding lemmy behind Authelia would break Federation (although maybe only one way?), is that correct? And secondly, would it be objectively safer for me to pay for a VPS, run Nginx Proxy Manager there and then forward all of the traffic to the services hosted in my basement server using Tailscale? Thanks!

      For sure, I think Oracle has unlimited bandwidth even in it’s free tier. Ionos is one that I was looking at, fairly cheap but also offers unlimited transfer

        Sure… i already have an oracle free tier that i use for NPM (though switching it to caddy) … i’d be wary of trusting either of them for long term usage though…

      OVH US has unlimited traffic but limits the bandwidth. I think they start at 100mbps and go over 1gbps depending on which configuration you pick.
