Self-Hosting

More context

Self-hosting is being framed as both a practical hobby and an ongoing security project: people share hands-on home lab setups (VLANs, pfSense/Suricata, DMZ) and guidance to make services safer. Coverage also includes learning resources and niche experimentation like self-hosting email over a routable IPv4 block and testing IP KVM hardware.
