    Security and exposing apps
  • Yes the reason why I said that is because I know what a VPN is and I know why its secure but I am asking for a different solution to the same problem. I am looking for different options and I know one option is a VPN so it doesnt help to me to find a solution when the only answers are "just use a VPN"

    Thank you for the couple of keywords. I will start my research there.

  • Security and exposing apps

    I recently figured out reverse proxies and I have several apps that I want to expose for ease of use for family members. I have found authelia and thought I could set that up as an extra protection against suspicions activity but after thinking about it a bit more I realized that the apps I want to expose already have user accounts and passwords so it would make things a bit more annoying when logging in. plus would authelia even work if the user is using a phone app instead of the web browser?

    What are your ways of keeping your servers safe from suspicious activity or even monitoring them for suspicious activity ?

    Before this post gets blasted with "just use a VPN" Yes I already have wireguard up and running but trying to get family members setup with a vpn that are technology illiterate is a nightmare
