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!
No, they can’t see anything inside node-to-node connections. They are encrypted end-to-end with keys that are only kept on each node and the node clients are open source so you can verify yourself that’s how it works.
The Tailscale servers only help the nodes find each other and establish connections to each other, they don’t have any access to the connections themselves.
The only way for Tailscale to intervene would be for them to silently add their own nodes to your tailnet but (1) even then the rogue node would only see connections between itself and other nodes, not connections between other nodes, and (2) at some point they added a setting that requires existing nodes to approve any new node, so you can use that to completely prevent it.
