I've never had a problem

Current Best Remote Access Method?

So for the past few years (?) I have been using wireguard to vpn into (effectively) my firewall and a dynamic dns setup to access that remotely. But with the shitshow that is google domains and the like, this seems like a good opportunity to look into a few of the alternatives. I am not entirely opposed to just going in and...

If you're just accessing one device, why not use SSH?

i use namecheap's dynamic dns with a curl cronjob

I have a server exposed to the wan. some ideas:

  • disable password auth for pubkey when you can

have fun!

If you only need a word processor, try Abiword. Otherwise if you need a full office suite: LibreOffice

kagi is paid search, I like the idea of that. why do you recommend kagi and not another paid search provider?
