Ah. Shit (pardon my French). I understand.
I got a VPN router a while ago, and all my connections at home go through it (console, Hassio, laptop, etc.). This way I get to choose individual locations for each device.
I’m using ExpressVPN, by the way.
Would this be a first step for what you explain?
Look at ‘em. So precious 🥺
I see! I am not the owner of the license so I “piggy backed” without reading much about the options it offers.
I’ll read about it and try to set it up.
Thank you for taking the time to teach me about this!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out.
And they say money doesn’t bring happiness 😅 I wish I could…!
Sorry, I am not sure of how to answer your question…
I am using VPN to browse internet in general. If I try to access the (iOS) Hassio app without being connected to the same WiFi as my Hassio, I cannot do anything. It doesn’t even load. Should this be different?
As far as I know, Meta has been demanding that info for a long while.
They want to make money with your data. No surprises here.
After a Tuta vs Proton comparison, I went for the first because of their use of renewables, and I’ve been there for over a year now after fully ungoogling. Their search kind of sucks, but I feel they focus on creating a safe service with neat features, so I’m staying. I also combine it with SimpleLogin. Awesome service!
Deleted my account the day third-party apps were killed. I do browse it on the phone daily using Libreddit though, but only specific communities. I also have LibRedirect setup on my computer, so it redirects me to an Libreddit instance when I click on Reddit links from search results. There’s still a lot of valuable knowledge there so it is hard to avoid.
Thank you both – and apologies. I feel I’m thick as porridge with this topic. I bought my Hassio Yellow months ago and I keep on pushing this because it is so daunting.
I finally understand the difference between what I have (connecting my device to a VPN service) and what I need (setting up a server so I can connect to my device) – so I can call myself wiser than yesterday!
ExpressVPN offers port forwarding and I’ve read about it on the Hassio website, but I am not sure that’d be the way to go for someone who baaarely knows what they are doing.
