|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>People often mix the concepts of privacy and anonymity, and sometimes security too. Here is a table that provides a comparison of privacy, anonymity, and security to help clarify the distinctions between these related concepts.</p>
|

|
|
||||||
|
<p>Suppose you have a diary that you keep locked in a drawer in your bedroom. The diary is your personal possession, and you have the right to keep it private. The lock on the drawer provides a level of security that prevents others from accessing your diary without your permission. If you were to write in the diary using a pseudonym, you would be maintaining anonymity.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>So, in this example, privacy refers to the ability to keep personal information or possessions away from others. Security refers to the protection of personal possessions from unauthorized access or theft. Anonymity refers to the state of being unknown or unidentifiable.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
</div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>With this article, I hope to achieve the goal of helping you maintain all three of these.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="open-source">Open Source.</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>All the pieces of software and services mentioned in this article are open-source.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Open source software is important for privacy because it enables greater transparency and accountability in the development of software. Since the source code is freely available for anyone to view, it can be inspected by security experts to identify any potential security vulnerabilities or backdoors that could be exploited by malicious actors. This means that security vulnerabilities can be identified and patched more quickly, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents that could compromise personal information.</p>

<h2 id="why-you-should-care">Why you should care.</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Do you have curtains in your home? This is because you want to keep certain activities private and don’t want strangers to know what you do. But why would you want large companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and even smaller companies to collect your personal information? Your answer may be, “I like targeted ads as they help me find new products,” or, “I want those companies to improve their products to help me serve better.” But that is not all they use your data for. Take a look at these articles:</p>

<h3 id="operating-systems">Operating Systems</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The choice of your operating system is very important as it is the most important piece of software on your device. And since it pretty much controls all your device’s hardware and software, it can have a significant impact on your privacy.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Choosing operating systems like Stock Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS can compromise privacy as these systems often come with pre-installed apps and services that collect user data. These systems also often rely on cloud-based services that store user data, increasing the risk of data breaches and privacy violations. In addition, these systems are closed-source, which means that their source code is not available to the public, making it difficult to identify potential security vulnerabilities. Finally, these systems are typically designed to work with proprietary hardware, which can limit the user’s ability to control their data and their device.</p>

<p>Imagine you have a secret toy that you do not want anyone else to know about. Your toy is hidden in a special place in your room where nobody can see it or touch it. Now, imagine that your parents can see everything you do in your room, even your secret hiding place. They can also tell your friends and other people about your toy.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Just like your secret toy, your personal information on your device is also private, and you do not want anyone else to know about it. If you choose a privacy-oriented operating system, it will help you keep your personal information safe and hidden from others, just like your secret toy. But if you pick an operating system that does not prioritise privacy, it might share your personal information with others, just like your parents sharing about your toy with your friends.</p>

<p>It is important to recognise that when it comes to iOS, privacy may not be a top priority for Apple as a company. Read these articles: <a href="https://gizmodo.com/apple-iphone-france-ads-fine-illegal-data-1849950163">1</a>, <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-data-privacy-collection-lawsuit">2</a>, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2021/08/24/apple-iphone-warning-ios-15-csam-privacy-upggrade-ios-macos-ipados-security/">3</a>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|

|
<p>Similar to Apple, Google also collects and tracks your data on Android devices. When using an Android device, Google’s apps and services are integrated deeply within the system, allowing them to collect a vast amount of user data.

<h2 id="password-managers">Password Managers</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A password manager is a tool that securely stores your login information for websites and applications. With the prevalence of online accounts, it’s common for individuals to have dozens or even hundreds of different usernames and passwords to remember. Password managers alleviate the need to memorise multiple login credentials by providing a secure digital vault for storing them. This not only makes it easier to manage passwords, but it also improves security by allowing users to generate and store strong, unique passwords for each account.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Although, most password managers offer built-in 2FA features, it is not recommended to use it because it, kind of, defeats the purpose of “two-factors” as both, passwords and 2FA codes are available in one app.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>People should avoid closed-source password managers, like 1Password, Dashlane, LastPass etc., because they cannot be audited or verified by the public, leaving users to rely on the company’s word that their passwords are being stored and managed securely. Closed-source password managers may also have backdoors or vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers or government agencies. Additionally, closed-source password managers may collect and sell user data without their knowledge or consent.

<h2 id="privacy-analysers">Privacy Analysers</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Privacy analysers are tools that scan applications on your device and identify privacy and security risks. They can help you identify apps that collect unnecessary data or have security vulnerabilities, giving you greater control over your online privacy. These tools are particularly important in today’s world, where many apps and services collect large amounts of user data without clear disclosure or user consent. By using a privacy analyser, you can identify problematic apps and take steps to protect your personal information.</p>

<h2 id="virtual-private-networks-vpns">Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>While many people think of VPNs as tools for hiding their IP address and encrypting internet traffic, VPNs can also serve a variety of other purposes. For instance, businesses often use VPNs to connect remote employees to their company’s network securely. This allows employees to access important files and resources from anywhere in the world without compromising security. In addition, VPNs can be used to create mesh networks that allow multiple devices to connect and communicate directly with each other. This is especially useful in disaster relief scenarios, where traditional communication infrastructure may be damaged or destroyed. By using VPN technology to establish a mesh network, first responders are able to coordinate more effectively and respond to emergencies more efficiently.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To put it simply, a VPN is much more than just an IP hiding app. It’s a powerful tool that can be used in a variety of settings to solve a wide range of problems. Whether you’re a remote worker who needs to connect to your company’s network securely, or a first responder who needs to communicate effectively in a disaster zone, a VPN can help you stay connected and protected.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you are using applications and protocols like Hamachi, NetCloud by Cradlepoint, Cisco’s L2F and L2TP, Apple’s SSTP etc., in your business environment or even at home, then shifting to an open source alternative is a good idea. Following are some good options:</p>

<p>As you already know, a VPN can also provide some form of online privacy and can help with geo-blocked content on the internet, but choosing a bad VPN provider can make things worse.

<p class="important-note">Please note, that setting up your own VPN <em>may not</em> be a very good idea, especially if you are the only individual using it. A personal VPN server on a VPS can prevent your ISP from tracking and logging the sites you visit, and is a better option than using an untrustworthy VPN provider. But online service providers will be able to track you and make a detailed profile about you since you are the only one connecting to their servers using your VPS’s IP address.</p>

<h1 id="2-communication-and-social">2. Communication and Social</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Using proprietary apps and protocols for social media and communication/messaging can potentially harm users’ privacy in several ways. Data collection, lack of transparency, third-party sharing, invasive permissions, backdoors and vulnerabilities, lack of end-to-end encryption, vendor lock-in, monetisation of user data, limited user control, lack of accountability etc. are a few concerns.</p>
|

|
<h2 id="dating-apps">Dating Apps</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Dating apps often collect a wide range of personal information, including your location, age, gender, sexual orientation, and even your preferences. This data can be used to build detailed profiles of users, potentially revealing sensitive and private information. They share user data with third-party companies for advertising and marketing purposes. This can lead to the creation of comprehensive user profiles, which are then used for targeted ads or sold to other companies. They typically use location data to match users with potential partners. While this is essential for their functionality, it also means that your movements and routines can be tracked, potentially compromising your privacy. Dating apps use complex algorithms to recommend potential matches. These algorithms may take into account your behaviour on the app, preferences, and interactions. While they aim to improve user experiences, they can also be used to predict user behaviour and target them with specific content or ads.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Like any online platform, dating apps are vulnerable to data breaches and cyberattacks. If these companies do not have robust security measures in place, user data could be exposed to hackers. In some cases, dating apps have faced legal action and investigations over their data practices. Users may not always be aware of how their data is being used or shared.</p>

<p>You’ve set up a home server, and are hosting some services like Vaultwarden, or Jellyfin, or perhaps Nextcloud. But now, you want to share it with friends and family, or maybe you just need the ability to access it remotely. So, you decided to expose it to the internet, but your ISP does not let you do that. Issues like dynamic IP can be resolved using a service like Duck DNS or No-IP, but if your ISP does not let you forward your ports, then you have to rely on third-parties to forward your traffic.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="easy-solutions">Easy Solutions</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are many easy solutions to this problem. Cloudflare Tunnel is a free and popular solution. And if you just want remote access, Tailscale is another good option. If Tailscale’s backend servers are not being open-source is an issue, people can rely on Headscale.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>But there is something you must know before considering these solutions. All these rely on TLS/SSL termination, which means your data is decrypted in the servers owned by these third parties.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Let me explain this in detail with taking Cloudflare Tunnel as an example.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>One of the reasons we use SSL certificates on our websites to ensure that when the client requests data from the servers, or sends any data back to us, nobody else can look at that it, ensuring the client’s privacy. When we use Cloudflare Tunnel, the data may be encrypted on our server, but it is decrypted on Cloudflare’s servers, then re-encrypted and sent to the client. And when client enters any data like passwords, or upload any image, that data is, again, decrypted on Cloudflare’s servers (e2ee services are different, discussed below), then re-encrypted and sent back to us.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you set up a Let’s Encrypt certificate on your server and route your traffic through a Cloudflare Tunnel, your clients will see a Cloudflare certificate. If you want them to see your Let’s Encrypt certificate, you will have to subscribe to their Business or Enterprise plan.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Take a look at this diagram for better understanding:</p>
|
||||||

||||||

||||||
|
<p>Let’s say you want to send your friend a message, but you don’t want anyone else to read it while in transit. So, you put the message in a locked box. So, if the box gets stolen on the way others won’t be able to read the message. That is what SSL certificates do.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>But, let’s say you cannot go out of your house to deliver the box yourself, because your parents, that is, your ISP, won’t let you. So, you hire someone else, say, Cloudflare. But what Cloudflare says, is that they will look inside the box before if you want them to deliver it for free, If you want the box locked, you will have to pay them money.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are some applications, like Vaultwarden, and Nextcloud with end-to-end encryption plugin, that are not affected with this because they encrypt the data themselves in the clients’ devices, using their own algorithms.</p>

<h3 id="my-solution">My solution</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Earlier, I used to do the same thing, but manually. I rented a VPS on Hetzner and connected it to my home server using WireGuard. But since, the certificate management was handled by the VPS using Nginx Proxy Manager my VPS provider, Hetzner, could look at the data. So, I decided to learn about implementing TLS passthrough.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, my current setup is – I host services on my home server, manage certificates locally, and use the VPS to pass the data to the client without terminating the TLS/SSL connection.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Here is a diagram to explain my setup:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Diag</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you have looked at the diagram above, you may have already understood what you need to replicate my setup. Here are the details:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>A home server.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>A VPS to route your traffic.
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="https://developer.oracle.com/free.html">Oracle Cloud</a>’s and <a href="https://cloud.google.com/free">Google Cloud</a>’s free tier is an option if you are not willing to spend any money. But they are neither performant as they have weak vCPUs and limited bandwidth speed, nor reliable as there have been many reports of Oracle randomly shutting down free tier VPS allotments. Another reason I do not use them is because I would like to stay away from them as much as possible due to their privacy invading history. (Read – <a href="https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Privacy_concerns_regarding_Google">Google</a>, <a href="https://techhq.com/2022/08/oracle-facing-data-backlash-for-violating-the-privacy-of-billions/">Oracle</a>)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Personally, I use Hetzner (here is my <a href="https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=axsjWq6L448M">referral link</a>, which will give you €20 credit for 3 months). I have been using their services for a long time and never had any issue. Also, their privacy policy is far better than others. Their cheapest ARM servers cost €3.29/mo which have 2 vCPUs and 4 GB RAM.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Other options are Digital Ocean, Vultr, or any VPS provider who will give you root access.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Basic command line knowledge.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>WireGuard on both, your home server and the VPS, and iptables on the VPS. Instructions are provided below.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Optionally, HAProxy and Certbot on your home server.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>

<h2 id="preparing-the-servers">Preparing the servers</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>I am assuming you have already updated and secured both of your machines and have access to both using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ssh</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">dropbear</code>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>First, let’s install WireGuard on both.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4 id="debianubuntu">Debian/Ubuntu</h4>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo apt install wireguard
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4 id="fedora">Fedora</h4>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo dnf install wireguard-tools
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4 id="arch">Arch</h4>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For instructions to install WireGuard on other distributions, visit the <a href="https://www.wireguard.com/install/">official documentation</a>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>On both servers, make sure forwarding is enabled.
|
||||||
|
Run</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Make sure <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">net.ipv4.ip_forward=1</code> is present. If it is not, type it at the end of the file. It might also be the case that it is present but has a pound sign (#) at the start of the line. This means that it is commented, and not enabled. Removing the sign will enable it.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Tip – If the file is too big, and you cannot find this line, you can press <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ctrl + w</code> to find it.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Save and close the file by pressing <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ctrl + x</code>, then <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">y</code>, and then <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">enter</code>. If you have not made any changes to the file, pressing <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ctrl + x</code> will simply close the file.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you made any changes to the file, run the following command:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo sysctl -p
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="setting-up-the-vps">Setting up the VPS</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>On most distributions, iptables comes pre-installed. But if, for any reason, it is not, install it using your system’s default package manager.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h5 id="debianubuntu-1">Debian/Ubuntu</h5>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo apt install iptables
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h5 id="fedora-1">Fedora</h5>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo dnf install iptables-services
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h5 id="arch-1">Arch</h5>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo pacman -S iptables
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For other distributions, a quick search on your favourite search engine will fetch you the instructions.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>You may have to start the iptables service.</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo systemctl enable iptables.service
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl start iptables.service
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, let us set up WireGuard. The basic idea is, the both servers will generate a pair of private and public keys. The WireGuard configuration files on both servers will contain their own private key and each other’s public key. There are many ways of doing it, but I find this way to be the easiest.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Run the following commands:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>wg genkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/private.key
|
||||||
|
sudo chmod go= /etc/wireguard/private.key
|
||||||
|
sudo cat /etc/wireguard/private.key | wg pubkey | sudo tee /etc/wireguard/public.key
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
<p>The first command generates the private key of the VPS, and it will be saved in a specific location. The second command removes any permissions on the file for users and groups other than the root user to ensure that only it can access the private key. And the third command generates the public key of the VPS, and it will be saved in the same location as the private key.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, create a new wireguard configuration file using</p>
|

|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

<p>Finally, run the following command on both of the server to start WireGuard:</p>

<h2 id="testing-and-finalising-the-wireguard-connection">Testing and finalising the WireGuard connection</h2>
|

|
<p>You can test the connection by pinging the WireGuard IP from either of the servers.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>On your VPS, run</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>ping 10.0.0.2
|

|
||||||
|
<p>Press <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ctrl + c</code> to stop.
|
||||||
|
If what you see is something like in the following screenshot, then your configuration is okay and everything should be routed through the VPS.</p>

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you have any issues, feel free to post a comment, below.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To make sure that WireGuard is turned on automatically after reboot, run the following command on both the systems:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0
|
||||||

|

<p>Now, you can point your domain(s) and/or subdomains to the public IP address of your VPS.</p>

<h3 id="haproxy">HAProxy</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>For a reverse proxy, any solution would work. But personally, I shifted from Nginx Proxy Manager to HAProxy because, In my opinion, it is faster, lightweight and provides more control.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To install HAProxy, use your default package manager.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4 id="debianubuntu-2">Debian/Ubuntu</h4>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo apt install haproxy

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For instructions to install a more recent version, or to install on other distributions, use your favourite search engine.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Start the HAProxy service, and enable it to ensure it is started after every boot, using the following command:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo systemctl start haproxy
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable haproxy
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To configure haproxy. Use</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo nano /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><a href="https://git.aiquiral.me/aiquiral/Bypass-CGNAT/src/branch/main/homeserver-haproxy.cfg">Here</a> is what my configuration looks like.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To enable the changes after editing the configuration file, we must restart the HAProxy service.</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo systemctl restart haproxy
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you are using my config file, you will see that I have added a location for an SSL certificate. If you restart the service without providing a valid SSL certificate, it will throw an error and the service will stop.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, let us jump to generating an SSL certificate.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="certbot">Certbot</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The official documentation states that you must install certbot using Snap package manager. I do not like it at all due to its back-end being proprietary. I used my distibution’s (Fedora’s) package manager to install certbot and it works fine. So, I leave the installtion of certbot to you.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are many ways to generate a certbot certificate, depending upon your requirements. I recommend setting up a wildcard certificate. You will need your domain provider’s API key. A simple search on your search engine will help you find a decent guide. Generate a certificate using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">certbot certonly</code> command, as we are going to set up HAProxy with the certificate ourselves.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Certbot will generate a private key and a public key certificate in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN.COM</code> folder. We will have to pipe both of them into a single file.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Run the following commands, after replacing <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">YOURDOMAIN.COM</code> with your actual domain and providing a proper path to certificate:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN.COM/fullchain.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN.COM/privkey.pem | sudo tee /path/to/certificate.pem
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>After making sure that certbot will be autorenewing your certificate, you can add this command in your root user’s crontab. Run the following to create a new cronjob:
|
||||||
|
sudo crontab -e</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Add the above command with proper syntax. Add</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0 22 * * * sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN.COM/fullchain.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOURDOMAIN.COM/privkey.pem | sudo tee /path/to/certificate.pem
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
<p>This will copy the generated keys into your single certificate file, everyday at 10 PM.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Save the file and exit the editor.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Confirm the certificate path in your haproxy.cfg, and restart HAProxy using</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo systemctl restart haproxy
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>That is it. You are done. Whenever you create new services, make sure you update your HAProxy configuration file and restart the HAProxy service.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Although, you do not have to touch your VPS anymore, I still recommend loging into the machine updating and rebooting it regularly.</p>

|

|
<p>07 October 2023 | Linux Guide, Privacy, Self-hosting</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>You've set up a home server, and are hosting some services like Vaultwarden, or Jellyfin, or perhaps Nextcloud. But now, you want to share it with friends and family, or maybe you just need the ability to access it remotely. So, you decided to expose it to the internet, but your ISP does not let you do that. Issues like dynamic IP can be resolved using a service like Duck DNS or No-IP, but if your ISP does not let you forward your ports, then you have to rely on third-parties to forward your traffic.</p>

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>It is widely known that the Proton team does not focus on Linux users as much as they focus on Windows and macOS users. The official Proton VPN Linux client lacks a lot of features, like changing the connection protocol, quickly connecting to the fastest server of a specific country, enabling their VPN Accelerator etc.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>However, we can achieve a lot using their official CLI client. And yes, that is what we are going to use. No third-party applications.</p>

|
<p>To manually select the country and the server to connect to, use the following command and follow the on-screen instructions:</p>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To connect to the fastest Proton VPN server for your location, for example, enter:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>protonvpn-cli c -f
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|

|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>protonvpn-cli c --tor
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To connect to the fastest server in a specific country, a country code can be used. For example, the following command connects to the fastest server in Germany using TCP:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>protonvpn-cli c --cc DE -p TCP
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="setting-up-auto-connect-at-boot">Setting up auto-connect at boot</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The following method is tested on Debian 11 with Xfce, Fedora 38 Workstation with Gnome and Manjaro 22.1.1 with KDE.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Go to the autostart folder in your home directory which contains all your application shortcuts that start immediately after login:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>cd ~/.config/autostart
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Create a new file:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>nano pvpn.desktop
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Paste the following:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>[Desktop Entry]
|
||||||
|
Exec=protonvpn-cli c -f
|
||||||
|
Name=ProtonVPN Autoconnect
|
||||||
|
Comment=Autoconnect to the fastest server
|
||||||
|
Type=Application
|
||||||
|
Icon=protonvpn-logo
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Change the “Exec” value according to your needs. For example, use</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>protonvpn-cli c --cc DE -p TCP
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
<p>to connect to the fastest server in Germany using the TCP protocol. Save the file by hitting Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Test this by logging out and then logging back in. Or just restart the whole system. If everything went perfectly, you should be automatically connected to the VPN when you log in.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If due to some reason you are not automatically connected, change the “Exec” value to:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>Exec=bash -c "sleep 10 && protonvpn-cli c -f"
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This will delay the command execution by ten seconds.</p>

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Sometimes a key on your keyboard stops working, and you may not have the time or motivation to fix it or get it fixed. Or maybe you just want to change how your keyboard keys work to improve your workflow. All this, and more, can be done with the help of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">evremap</code> (<a href="https://github.com/wez/evremap">github.com/wez/evremap</a>).</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>It is a tool that can remap the keyboard inputs for Linux systems, made by <a href="https://github.com/wez/">Wez</a>. And because <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">evremap</code> targets the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">evdev</code> layer of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">libinput</code>, the remapping is effective system-wide – in Wayland, X11 and the Linux console.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="building-and-installing">Building and Installing</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu require some prerequisites before we can build it. Use this command to install them:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo apt install git cargo pkg-config libevdev-dev
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>RHEL and its derivates also require some prerequisites. Use the following command to install it:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo dnf install git libevdev-devel
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="building">Building</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>First, clone the repository to any folder of your choice. I recommend the Downloads folder, as after building it, you can safely delete it.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>cd ~/Downloads && git clone https://github.com/wez/evremap.git && cd evremap
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, build the binary.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>cargo build --release
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If everything went fine, the last lines of your terminal output should be something like the ones in the image below.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p><img src="/assets/posts/2023-05-21-remap-keyboard-keys-using-evremap/evremap_build-finish.avif" alt="A screenshot of the terminal after evremap finished building." title="evremap_build-finish" class="inline-img" /></p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="installing">Installing</h3>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Copy the binary file to the specified location using this command:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo cp target/release/evremap /usr/bin/
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now create a config file in the specified location using this command:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo touch /etc/evremap.toml
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>We will edit this file in the Usage section, below.To make your configured remapping active immediately after the system startup we need to create a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">systemd</code> service. Use the following commands to do so:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo cp evremap.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl enable evremap.service
|
||||||
|
sudo systemctl start evremap.service
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, you can safely delete the cloned repository.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>cd .. && rm -rf evremap
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In the configuration file, we need to state two things, basically – name of the keyboard(s) and name of the keys you wish to remap.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To find the name of all the connected keyboards use the following command:</p>
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo evremap list-devices
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Usually, laptop keyboards will be named “AT Translated Set 2 keyboard”.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To find the name of all the inputs use:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo evremap list-keys
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">grep</code> command can help you find the keyboards and the keys faster.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo evremap list-devices | grep HOME
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, let us modify the configuration file. Use the following command to edit it:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>sudo nano /etc/evremap.toml
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Here is a template that you can copy and paste, and make te changes you need:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>device_name = "DEVICE NAME HERE"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[remap]]
|
||||||
|
input = ["NAME_OF_THE_KEY_YOU_WILL_PRESS_ON_YOUR_KEYBOARD"]
|
||||||
|
output = ["NAME_OF_THE_KEY_YOU_NEED_TO_BE_PRESS_AS_THE_OUTPUT"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[remap]]
|
||||||
|
input = ["KEY_COMBINATION_1", "KEY_COMBINATION_2"]
|
||||||
|
output = ["OUTPUT_KEY"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[dual_role]]
|
||||||
|
input = "KEY_YOU_NEED_TO_CHANGE_THE_RESULT_FOR"
|
||||||
|
hold = ["KEY_THAT_WILL_BE_PRESSED_WHEN_INPUT_KEY_IS_HELD"]
|
||||||
|
tap = ["KEY_THAT_WILL_BE_PRESSED_WHEN_INPUT_KEY_IS_TAPPED"]
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Here is the configuration file that I use for my laptop, as my Tab and Number 2 keys do not work.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>device_name = "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[remap]]
|
||||||
|
input = ["KEY_END"] output = ["KEY_2"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[remap]]
|
||||||
|
input = ["KEY_HOME"]
|
||||||
|
output = ["KEY_TAB"]
|
||||||
|
</code></pre></div></div>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>You can save the file by hitting CTRL + X, then Y and then Enter.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now, you can log out and log back in and test your new configuration. If everything went perfectly, your remapped keys should work as expected.</p>
|
||||||
