Cool to see this here, Anton! If you can still edit your title, I suggest prefixing this post with "Show HN: " so that it's obvious that you're the author sharing your project.

This feels like a passive aggressive dig, and I don't think it's an insightful critique of the article. When you write anything, you have to assume your audience is at some baseline of understanding the topic. Otherwise, every sof

I guess I'm not really sure what you're advocating. These measures sound good for you, but what percentage of HN readers can do that? How many threats does it eliminate in practice beyond what you'd get from basic VPN + firew
