Pushes Apache License
They absolutely can and will do that.
I did not intend to be toxic.
No. That's quite literally the point of a proxy. If you don't want to be proxied, don't use a proxy.
I know this is the selfhosted community but if you're new to this, you really shouldn't be hosting email as it's one of the hardest services to get "right".
(Ideally no other public service either, they're a huge liability. Start hosting stuff for local network use.)
VPN use will functionally make it like you’re on your home network. VPN access to your network should not be given to tons of people if at all possible.
Note that Tailscale does not give other users access to your entire home network but just specific machines and you need to explicitly share those machines.
Why is this not being developed inside Mesa? There's even precedent for it; gallium9.
Even has a KVM for emergency access ;)
It's not and it's insane. TDP is a fucky "metric".
https://ifconfig.me/. Can also be be curl'd.
Easier to remember is to just search for what is my ip in clear net DuckDuckGo (or Kagi if you have it).
they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.
How exactly is a CAPTCHA supposed to discover your "true IP"?
Also note that your IP address is by far not the only thing used to fingerprint you. See https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ and https://browserleaks.com/.
Use TOR browser if you want your starting conditions to be reasonably anonymous.
Even more critical for fingerprinting is user behaviour though.
I use the deutsch symbols messageease layout as it's the only German layout with symbols on the main keyboard. There's also deutsch multilingual thumbkey if you're fine with {``^ etc. being on the numpad.
I'd also add a build machine to the setup. Building a modern desktop system on such a machine would take days.
I completely misread your post. Your issue isn't outbound connections appearing as if they came from your VPS, it's inbound connections to your local mailserver being proxied.
