Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.

But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.

Hope you like this small update... Over & out!

BoxyBSD Logo - a free BSD based VPS Service by gyptazy

Spent some time messing around with Headscale (self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server).

I couldn't get "raw" WireGuard to work the way I wanted through nested firewalls and CGNAT so this seems like a good way to blow all that complexity out of the water. Less complexity is usually more reliable.

Headscale is pretty neat. Painless install on Debian.

Configuring Linux and Windows nodes is simple too - at least from a basic connectivity point of view.

I need to figure out how I'm going to deal with multi-homed DNS scenarios for clients. Something with very little thought and work through yet. Ha.

Now the hard part, picking apart the security and edge cases to use it regularly.
