Something that requires LAN connectivity: media library off a local NAS (e.g. Plex), generic storage (e.g. Nextcloud), or home automation (e.g. Home Assistant).

- berkes 6y agoInteresting solution. Also as alternative to a VPN. A VPN is often just too complex to set up, and also requires some hardware in your local network; though often your router will have that already. Off course a Rpi can act as VPN gateway/server. But solving it by flipping the "servers" around and running the "appserver" in your network then tunneling it to remote seems a really neat hack to avoid going into VPN hell.
- flatiron 6y agoJust VPN the VPS? At least my router supports openvpn right on the device. Generates the config for you and everything.
