I was planning on filtering local and external IP’s, like technotim explains in one of his videos by using cloudflare as an external reverse proxy

I’m aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

Will also take a look at the router DNS, thanks a lot!

Okay, I’ll start with configuring pihole for DNS. If I get it, I can just use that DNS and if I need to access a service external I need to register the domain with my registrar?

Thanks for the reply! I think I get it now.

You can get more updated packages by running debian testing, which is quite stable. Debian also is more stable. Security patches are still brought to the main release, making it secure. The stability comes from the lack of a lot of new updates which come with a lot of new bugs.

I’m using debian, so sftp would be an option, do you use a graphical client?
