  • I don’t think DNS blocking is sufficient for untrusted devices. A Pi-hole won’t stop or report on a device that doesn’t use it. WAN blocking is good when you can use it, but also not sufficient on its own and can render devices non-functional (which maybe they should be…). Virtual or physical LAN segregation and a firewall is required to both stop your trusted devices being accessed maliciously, and to block/sniff what the untrusted devices are doing with WAN access.







  • I wouldn’t use Copilot for this, as it may be using some older info on you that it already has. There are lots of “whatismyip” type sites that can try to guess your location. Failing that, see what region Google serves you ads from—any YouTube ads I get are always from my VPN endpoint country/region.

    Also, just try plain old Tor Browser to compare with your setup.

    1. I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
    2. I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
    3. I’ll snapshot an LXC before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
    4. I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.
