I am upgrading my Mac mini, so I will be using my old one as an addition to my HAN. Should I keep using the same Apple ID or create a new one? by jaredearle in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

If you use the same AppleID, you get to keep all the apps you bought.

I have six (?) Macs/phones all using the same ID.

Is there something wrong with using Synology’s built-in reverse proxy?

You don’t have wordfence and auto-updates turned on?

Attempting to understand what happened when a strange login page shows up on a subdomain I host, and I would like some input/suggestions by jaredearle in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Here’s what I think happened: Everything you see is something you did.

The subdomain you host points to your IP … or at least it did. Your ADSL IP address has changed and your domain is now pointing at someone else’s IP as their ADSL has claimed it.

Ping the subdomain and see the IP address. Now go to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ and see what your IP address is. They’re different now, right?

Getting an obscure domain name doesn’t matter as attackers go straight to the IP address. If you have a certificate on your secret domain name, they have your domain the moment they hit port 443.

Don’t use “security through obscurity”; instead just secure your services or host a VPN.
