want to get started but finding the technical side really overwhelming (sh.itjust.works)

I'd really like to get started with this stuff but finding the technical requirement exhausting.

Trying to install privoxyvpn- "simply add the proxy to your browser and ensure the configuration is correct" (no help as to what this means, or how to do it and following the basic instructions just renders my browser unable to connect - googling the error message gives me replies like "simply make sure you read the logs" (no description of how to get to the logs or how to read them)

hearing I need a proxy and a reverse proxy, install SWAG — "first, point the A name at your server and the CNAME at the A and then install the SSL certificate - but be sure to pick between directories and subdomains if you have fewer than 20 domains in your account."

Like what the fuck does any of this mean?

Then I hear if I have a proxy it might interfere with the reverse proxy and both might interfere with the VPN and vice versa.

How does one even get started?

I would suggest you to use an Orange Pi+Armbian instead of a Raspberry Pi

Why? You gave no reasoning and they already have a raspberry pi. They are very similar in capability so if you're going to suggest they buy a new thing you should at least give a single reason

especially as I bought an RPi because everyone said it was easy and perfect to use lmao

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Well I can tell you that I owned both but I returned the orange pi because of several factors, but mainly it boiled down to the company feeling sketchy and the software support being far worse on the OPI. The day I was giving it a last chance, the OPI official website even went down!

It kinda feels like the only reason that is a viable board to use is because of some dude named Joshua Riek who maintains a flavor of Ubuntu for it... Their official OS flavors ranged between non-working and shitty tbh

TBH I like more Orange Pi+Armbian principally cos those MFs of Raspberry Pi don't give a flying fuck about their customers. It's more something ideological than exactly about money.
