Thanks! I’ll do that

And just steal your phone!

Another consideration is what happens on the other side of the journey. Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, which all share intelligence with the U.S. government under the Five Eyes program, have different border privacy policies. Under Australian law, travelers do not have to unlock their phones. Canadian authorities, like U.S. authorities, say they will seize a phone if a traveler refuses to unlock it. New Zealand imposes a $5,000 fine for failing to unlock a phone, and Britain considers refusing to unlock a phone for police to be a counterterrorism offense.

Quite insane. Seems like the only real answer is a burner phone.

You just made me look up! Lol

Thanks!

Here’s the setup I followed. It seems like it might take away some manual work for you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8NIAOsNvo&t=1294s&pp=ygUIRmFpbDJiYW4%3D

I’ve been meaning to learn how to make my own

Thanks :)

It’s definitely not legal, especially if your school is funded by the public. That “free internet and power” is paid by someone, and if it’s the public, it’s kind of a dick move.

This is assuming a lot and I think incorrect. I use the power and internet everyday as part of my job. Doing research and that which is related falls under that. And no it’s not funded by the public… but your point is well taken!

Thanks for sharing info on ssh. That’s helpful. If I’m sshing via Tailscale I wonder what IP they see? The Tailscale 100. one?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

That’s a great point, that is exactly the point, haha. The public sites are related to the library and my research so it seems that would be allowed.

Yeah… that definitely would be too far. I’m even careful what I backup (no torrents only work) to my school machine over rsync ssh just to follow the rules.

What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?

Does adding 127.0.0.1 make it so only that server can access it or what? I’ve seen that but not understand

Good advice!

because discussing such projects in self hosting is fun and why we are here. I wanted to hear what others thought. Ie we are in a forum.

How has that been going?

Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.

I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.

Great point about IoT

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)
