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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I want to set up a VPN that uses the client's IP when sending data out of the VPN server. I am able to use either OpenVPN (open-source edition), or Wireguard.

Yeah, not sure how many isps block it. They didn't used to 10 years or so ago. I used to block unknown ips at my egress.

But they should, and I'm hoping they do now.

I'm also not too sure what the point would be for the OP. Even if their isp allows the ip spoofing the response would take the normal route back to the vpn client.

I have no numbers, but with the rise in bad actors I assume that at least the larger hosts who have their own data centers do it.
