This site is self-hosted on my own internet (orange) connection in Normandy 🇫🇷, 800MB/s upload
I've connected the server directly to the modem/router, bypassing the need for a switch or second router. This setup gives me a performance boost, as there's one less hop in the connection. Estimated costs: €21.90/year (TTC) and €1.83/month (TTC), assuming 12.5 W power usage, 24/7 operation, and €0.20/kWh (TTC) electricity price in France.

I use an SSH forward tunnel to access my dashboards such as Adguard, Technitium, Mkdocs, etc... LocalForward 443 localhost:81
Here are my DNS rewrites to access them
I can access my local sites on port 443 with a valid TLS certificate issued by Caddy-trust
