I added a final edit where it turns out I just mistyped the public key and the rest of the config was completely fine. Oops lol. Thanks for your input on this I really appreciate it. Now final question. Since my server now works on a whitelist basis, it should be reasonably safe to leave the port open indefinitely going forward? If not, is there more I should consider doing to increase security?
Thanks again :)
So I got home and fixed my port-forwarding rule, but I can't get my phone to connect. That aside, I'm now a bit lost as to how to get access to baikal , or anything else... I can't seem to find any resources that explain how to do this either. Do you know of anything I can read to try to set that up?
Edit: I sorted out reaching the baikal server from the VPN. Still working on getting my android phone to work with wireguard tho :/
Edit: I apparently can't read and mistyped a key value. Turns out everything has been working this whole time 🤦
I think I've configured it all (using the the link the other person sent). I think I screwed up the port forwarding tho and I'm not home to fix it for now.
Everything looks like it should work but only time will tell lol. Thank you again for your help!
So I'm just taking a look at wireguard on android. I just need to point a specific address to wireguard and it takes care of it then?
This seems relatively straightforward to configure.
Last question (hopefully). I'm running this server off a pi with bullseye. The guide on their site for setting up a server uses buster but the client uses bullseye. The buster version needs to setup unstable release packages but the bullseye client doesn't. This should mean that I'm good to just grab the default Debian package on bullseye?
Are these all roughly equivalent in security? Or is it a case of some of these being a bit less complex to set up but you sacrifice security? I'll look into these options though. Thank you
So if I understand this correctly, I configure wireguard on the server end and port forward to the IP for the wireguard interface? and then configure devices to send packets through their wireguard interface for specific applications to get synced up?
Thanks for your reply :)
I just set up my own domain for e-mail and I use aliases for signups. Why would I use an alias for my main email if I have my domain? Just trying to figure out if I should be thinking about setting that up
Interesting... I just installed this, will update later. I just switched back to using qwerty on my phone so l coud type on other peoples phones but I definitely see the appeal of using this
I did check the space. It just didn't seem to want to let me log in via email but like I said, username worked fine!
As to the crashing I hadn't tried from not the bottom navigation bar, so thank you for that. I was mostly just documenting the issue in case other people et encountered it
Hey. Seemingly the app won't let me log into an instance I've tried lemme.ee, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.zip. Any ideas?
Editing to add that this app looks really nice! I think my only complaint is that collapsed comments are bright green, unless I'm missing the option to change that
Edit: I am dumb and did not think to scroll further lol oops
Edit: I successfully logged in using username rather than password. That said, the app crashes every time I try to view my profile
