2 years agoI would say this: If it’s just you accessing your server and nobody else, self-hosting is fine.
When it comes to giving other people access to your server, no matter how close of friends you may be, I would recommend renting a cheap VPS online. The security benefits are just that much better.
Just use a cloudflare tunnel. It’s free and can be used on pretty much any network that sends and receives data.
