Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Maybe easier to setup because routers that support vpns come with nice-ish web uis.
That said, if you have a server (pc, pi, etc), setting up wireguard with wg-easy is mostly painless (comes with a nice web ui), so there is no reason to replace your router in this case!
Instead of replacing a router, I'd prefer buying a pi anyways.
Unless you want to route all outbound traffic through a vpn with zero config on devices, I can't see why you'd replace a router.
Final note: most people prefer hosting a vpn on a server, even if their router supports it as far as I'm aware at least (edit: this might be erong judging from the rest of the comments saying they use their router).
