It’s pretty scary stuff. I just spent 2022 grinding without sleep and severe depression due to accidental abuse of this stuff. My doctor did not educate me well and I’ve never felt better cutting it off cold turkey.
I exclusively self host vault warden behind a VPN and firewall with a custom domain. Changes are automatically managed and deployed through GitHub CI/CD.
I have wireguard VPN on all my devices tunneled into my server. I also self-host the VPN since vaultwarden runs on a local Docker intranet.
If people are interested, I was going to write a step by step blog.
Less technical, but I also get yubikey and duo 2factor push auth out of the box with Vaultwarden! (Open source rust implementation of Bitwarden)
Seeing that the US managed to extradite a British citizen from his own country for hosting links, I would definitely say so. The right way is to do this is to host this on tor or similar and only advertise it on the internet behind a good vpn.
It's ridiculous that this is what people need to do to help others, but that's what ridiculous laws and circus courts get you.
> Britain has authorised the extradition to the United States of a student who created a website allowing people to watch films and television shows for free, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.
> ..[The 23-year-old student] allegedly earned tens of thousands of pounds (dollars) through advertising on the TVShack website before it was closed down by US authorities.
> The student would be the first British citizen extradited for such an offence. He faces jail if found guilty of the charges, which were brought after a crackdown by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
> His lawyer had argued in court that the website did not store copyright material itself and merely directed users to other sites, making it similar to Google.
> The lawyer also argued that his client was being used as a "guinea pig" for copyright law in the United States.
Anglo countries tend to aggressively extradite, even for things that are not major crimes by their own law, to the US over copyright related offences. I'd tread with extreme caution.
