Sure.
Hosting your own is a twenty minute setup, more or less, and $5/mo on Hetzner. Uptime, in my experience, is 5 nines.
With SaaS, I am losing the main reason that I am using Bitwarden - that I don't want the X agency to force Bitwarden to give them my passwords.
And I know that if said agency (it varies by country and target) could definitely hack the VPS if I was important enough, that is not part of my threat profile. Self hosted is far less likely to get auto vacuumed than SaaS data.
- idiotsecant 4y agoI think if X agency wants your information the $5 wrench attack will probably bypass your self-hosted server infrastructure.
- Dylan16807 4y agoOk. There's a very big gap between a warrant and a torture kidnapping. Self-hosting protects a lot of that gap.
- midasuni 4y agoIf X agency uses the wrench attack then you know you’ve been breached
- denkmoon 4y agoAll bets are off if you've got the man taking a wrench to your shins.
- phpisthebest 4y ago>> I don't want the X agency to force Bitwarden to give them my passwords. Then you do not understand how bitwarden works, Bit Warden has the same access to your passwords that Hetzner does, i.e they have only encrypted access to the binary storage. The only thing agency X could get from bitwarden is an encrypted vault that is useless with out your master key, all encryption and decryption is done client side. THis by the way is the same access Hetzner would have to turn over if Agency X asks for a copy of your VM running vualtwarden
- aborsy 4y agoThis is true, but not enough to protect your vault. See dvzk reply.
