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.

Check out wireguard, its way smaller and faster than OpenVPN and still FOSS.
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpn-features/wireguard
Very user friendly if you install it with a GUI, almost to plug and play level.
I'd go this route directly on OPNsense.
In order to use PIA in the Wireguard app, don't I have to select
in the dropdown for VPN? I'm trying to avoid something that will be removed in the near future. Or am I reading that wrong?
Did a little research and seems to be a PIA issue; they don't provide config files.. But there is a workaround: https://github.com/pia-foss/manual-connections
Or a Python script to obtain a config file: https://github.com/hsand/pia-wg
But there are other VPNs that will let you download config files for use, I have no idea why PIA makes it hard.
You would need to create a docker image or some sort of container/VM (container preferred) to host wireguard. This is what I personally use: https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy
