Just another voice yelling in the void.

I’ve probably protested for your rights. I’m definitely on at least one list.

I believe firmly that everyone should have a fair shake and as much freedom as they can be afforded - so long as it does not encroach on the freedoms of others.

Occasionally a wordy cunt who will type a book when a sentence or two will suffice.

  • Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.

    So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

    This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

    For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.

    Right. Docker does sandboxing. That’s a core feature it provides - I’m just trying to ascertain what precisely your company is actually offering outside of a ui wrapper on these established services.

    I mentioned earlier that your branding seems to emphasize security - but all I’m seeing is mention of existing security features inherent in the software being wrapped. Does your team do additional tuning for security? Do they have experience in infrastructure security, hardening systems, or the like? To be clear I just want to better understand the branding and what is being offered.

    the same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.

    Alright so this is a feature that a homelab user can actually use - backups. Could you expand on how you will be managing this feature / plan to implement it once it is offered?


  • Alright so I’ll ask a hardball question or two. What precisely are you offering that isn’t just repackaged install scripts and a wireguard wrapper?

    What is your / your teams background in software security? The implication of the name and your “branding” are selling a lot - what outside of docker and wireguard are you bringing to the table. On that note: why docker?

    Further - you are paywalling remote access… When your platform is utilizing wireguard.

    Netbird (one of many examples) doesn’t even do that… What’s the reasoning?

    I have more but let’s start there.
