  • You don’t. Providing you have an upstream gateway that do the firewall for you, provided you don’t have an open WiFi, provided you use a reverse proxy, provided you have sane network settings all around, provided you run linux(or similar).

    Even better if you are behind CGNAT.

    Provided you know what you are doing.

    On the other hand, setting up a firewall in a safe way is no easy task either.

    I use an opnSense on top of my home network, given all the above “provided”.

    Before that, I never run a firewall and never had an issue. Always being cg-nat tough.





















  • Authelia doesn’t seems to follow the “free tier / paid tier” approach of other solutions, and doesn’t seems to have a commercial company backing it. While i have nothing against monetizing your work, i tend to prefer solutions that don’t rely on a commercial partner behind that could start an enshittification strategy sometime in the future or worse.

    Authelia gave me a better feeling.

    Of course, i might be completely wrong. And, as i wrote, i never tried other solutions before Authelia, which fitted my bill immediately.
