Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yes. Firewalls.
With an iPhone, however, you are screwed. Apple won't let you do what you are looking for.
VPN would still work for iPhone I imagine. Small whitelist of DNS would do 90%+ of the job.
Apple bypasses VPNs for certain system services, or at least has in the past
Also falls back to hardcoded IPs when DNS fails
I killed off ads in the News app by blocking
doh.apple.com. I find it kind of funny that it looks up its DoH server IP using the existing DNS server and that simply returning NXDOMAIN cuts it off.Not sure if they use it for much more than that though (doesn’t seem like it).
