  • I was having issues getting my Android device to use my local DNS server over VPN, what worked for me was setting it up through RethinkDNS. There’s a setting to prevent DNS leaks by capturing all traffic on port 53 and directing it to the DNS server you set. It doesn’t feel like an elegant solution but hey, it works.

    Note, you’ll have to make sure your private DNS setting is off, in the internet section of the system settings.



  • Hey sorry for the late reply, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your perspective here! It’s definitely made me simmer down a bit instead of jumping in head first. I’ll try it out for myself and a few friends first before trying to recruit everyone I know :P

    Part of why I want to do this is that I do want to learn more about all the stuff you mentioned (except Kubernetes, gosh everytime I look up documentation for it I drown in a swarm of terminology).

    As who very much doesn’t work in IT, computer stuff is a fun hobby for me. I can see how assuming the responsibilities for hosting an instance could make it less fun and more work, though.
