The survey is kinda weird. Like why do one has to use a VPN/RP/LAN when you can also just have the Server public exposed ? And for some other questions I should’ve voted „depending “ as neither true or false applied.
-
I thought it covered most bases, usually when publicly exposed something has a reverse proxy and certs in front
-
I have mine in a DMZ, so it can be fully exposed with software firewall. I thought it’ll be less work to setup and maintain. Wich it is, when I have a small project I can just plug my pi into the DMZ and it’s good to go.

Strange survey - it seems to imply that self-hosting means that I have the hardware running at home? Cannot fill this out, unfortunately.
-
Yea, that’s the whole deal with self hosting. Offside hosting or cloud hosting doesn’t mean you just have SAAS, you can have lower level access or even IAAS
-
Yeah seems like they mix up homelabbing and selfhosting a lot
-
It asks questions for both self-hosted on your own hardware as well as hosted in the cloud, I’m a little confused why everyone thinks all the questions must be applicable. It’s a survey about self-hosting. I happened to have cloud and local hosting answers, and it seemed like if I only used cloud there were suitable answers for that. Maybe I missed something?

Agreed. I have a personal modem and a separate router with openwrt acting, at least in part, as a firewall. Then each host also has its own firewall for extra protection.
I agree, I'm a bit of a different case since I'm also colocating my equipment. I run a UDM Pro for all my IPMI with a VPN into that subnet, but everything else is running with public IPs.
I don't even have an ISP router at all, my personal router is plugged directly into the fibre terminator.
Same. My ISP router is sitting on a shelf unused.
