  • I was having issues getting my Android device to use my local DNS server over VPN, what worked for me was setting it up through RethinkDNS. There’s a setting to prevent DNS leaks by capturing all traffic on port 53 and directing it to the DNS server you set. It doesn’t feel like an elegant solution but hey, it works.

    Note, you’ll have to make sure your private DNS setting is off, in the internet section of the system settings.



  • I had just turned 14 the first time I smoked weed. I stole some from my parent’s stash after encouragement from a kid I played Team Fortress 2 with and smoked it in the garage when they were gone. I kept on doing this on a weekly to bi-weekly basis throughout my teenage years. My parents only learned about it when I told them a few years ago.

    Was 17 the first time I got drunk, in a small garage (or large shed, depending on your perspective) with some friends and some adult supervision in the form of my friend’s parents zonked out in front of the TV in their home.

    Other drugs (LSD, coke, but mainly shrooms) I experimented with in my mid 20s.






  • The reason for the VPN is to have access to my Unbound DNS on my phone from anywhere, not only my local network. If I just wanted to configure the DNS on my local network, I’d set up static IP for my network in Android’s settings and input the DNS server manually. This works fine when I set it up, but like I said I want to use Unbound on my phone anywhere via Wireguard.

    I’m not sure what’s the second thing you want me to clarify! Sorry for the confusion, I appreciate you trying to help out :)





  • When connected through wireguard can you access anything on the local network?

    Everything works as expected with Wireguard otherwise, I can ssh into my server or my desktop, and access the other things hosted on my server (although these are all through Docker, which is why I suspect container isolation to be an issue).

    Does this issue also happen when you’re on another network and vpning back?

    Yup, same issues whether I’m on the local network, the WiFi at work, or on LTE.


  • Hey sorry for the late reply, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your perspective here! It’s definitely made me simmer down a bit instead of jumping in head first. I’ll try it out for myself and a few friends first before trying to recruit everyone I know :P

    Part of why I want to do this is that I do want to learn more about all the stuff you mentioned (except Kubernetes, gosh everytime I look up documentation for it I drown in a swarm of terminology).

    As who very much doesn’t work in IT, computer stuff is a fun hobby for me. I can see how assuming the responsibilities for hosting an instance could make it less fun and more work, though.
