Hey everyone,

I’m one of the people who still used proton and am now in the process of switching everything and trying to selfhost more.

I sucessfully setup Vaultwarden. I also decided I should move away from having my dockers publicly exposed with nginx reverse proxy and switched everything over to netbird. Im using their proxy feature now to access everything with custom domains and followed a tutorial to setup a bring your own proxy server on a vps. So now all my services are only accessible when my netbird vpn is active. I also spun up a pihole docker and added that to my netbird dns servers to try and get ad blocking on my mobile devices. So far so good.

I wonder however that while some webui’s like vaultwarden run with https, others like radarr dont. Is this a problem or does it not matter so much since i have the vpn running?

I dont really understand how I would go about making them https though. Im on unraid for my dockers and don’t see why some use https and others don’t.

Sorry if this is a convoluted post, I’m quite in over my head with all the networking and dns stuff and just hoping I’m not doing something stupid.

Thanks for your help!

    Yep! Definitely don’t add any of your internally used domains used on public DNS services. Be careful requesting SSL certs for the child subdomains too. They will show up on transparency logs like on shodan.io. Use internal DNS, and wild card certs for these things. And obviously, do not expose your ports publically.
