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.

Really only if you're running your own email server. Otherwise as far as I know dynamic DNS fills the need.
You aren't in any more risk either way.
Sounds like maybe you want to look into pfsense to do traffic filtering. Highly recommend.
I messed with pfsense a bit at my old job, but never really thought to use it in my home network - might just give that a shot, thanks!
Because you don't need it. OPNsense and pfSense may make sense in some cases however you're running a small network and you most likely don't require those. OpenWRT will provide you with a much cleaner open-source experience and also allow for all the customization you would like. Another great advantage of OpenWRT you've the ability to install 3rd party stuff in your router, you may even use qemu to virtualize stuff like your Pi-Hole on it or simply run docker containers.
