Hi, my current setup is the following

Windows server pc with hyperV (it's a weird choice I know but I wanted to experiment with stuff I'm also using at work) hosting some VMs:

  • OPNSense (doing dhcp server)
  • owncloud (personal cloud)
  • pihole

Till yesterday I had a fix public IP to reach my owncloud via port forwarding from my work laptop and as well my two desktop (outside my network)

Can you suggest a more secure way of doing it? Any general other suggestion to make my setup better?

Thank you

PS: i have no budget constrain but I'm usually not prompt to waste money :D

Disable that port forwarding on your router, and install a wireguard server and forward that port only.

It's free and works like a charm. It's simple and elegant, and I can access all my containers from everywhere in the world!

Dunno your work policies, and what you're allowed to setup or not, but this is the "best way" I know.

Any guide you suggest? I don't speak very well "Linux" but I can follow procedures and build on that
