Why self hosting is important

Quantale

I started my bootstrapped start-up almost a year and half ago and I manage the entire dev-ops infrastructure for my startup. My startup is building a web-based bloomberg terminal alternative(https://quantale.io) which is an infrastructure heavy project. Here is why I use 3 VPNs: 1. Pritunl is used as an enterprise VPN setup. Using this VPN, I provide access to different webapps/self-host to different users in my team/clients. For eg, the stage version of Quantale is hosted on a server(with ufw rule to only allow connection from pritunl VPN IP) and I can provide access to you by creating a vpn config for you and you will only be able to access stage server, you wont be able to access any other servers behind this VPN. 2. OpenVPN with Pihole, I use this VPN as a personal VPN. This VPN blocks ads and trackers using PiHole and my self-hosted password manager is only accessible via this VPN 3. Wirehole with PiHole, this is a backup VPN to access my password manager in case I loose access to my OpenVPN server.

Mail-in-a-box

Mail-in-a-box [0] has a very good mail filter. Junk mail is about at Gmail levels for me, with almost zero false positives and almost zero false negatives. Some of my accounts are fairly high volume and I have found its performance to be very acceptable. The fact that I can host as many domains and accounts as I want with all kinds of filters and rules and forward them all to my main account as needed with rules is just gravy.
