I have a few VLANs and they are all setup with a honeypot + IDS. I notice that my VPN VLAN which I use to connect back home does not show in the list of interfaces to enable honeypot + IDS. Is it possible to monitor this interface? This is one of the more important ones that I would like to monitor.

I have had Proxmox running nightly backups and saving them to my NAS for years now without any issues. I've been thinking that it would also be nice to have these copied over to my cloud storage (some smaller company, no available plugins).

I know Proxmox Backup Server exists, but not much more than that other than it can backup to popular cloud providers.

The cloud provider I have has a Linux client that will create a shared folder on the system. My thought was to mount the Proxmox VM backup location with CIFS, install my cloud client and then write a script to run as a cronjob that would copy files from the Proxmox VM to the cloud folder each night.

This feels a bit clunky so I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a better solution.

Is it possible to listen on the WAN interface with the built in IDS? I know this would be very noisy, but I like seeing all the traffic "knocking at the front door". I had previously done this in Pfsense with Suracata, and was wondering if it was possible in Ubiquiti.

I currently have the IDS/IPS setup on all of my VLANs, but don't see a way to enable this on the WAN interface itself.

The scariest part of this recent news is that TM Signal seem(ed) to be interoperable. People using TM Signal could interact with actual Signal users. How are you to know whether or not your groups have people using bastardized versions of Signal? Are things like Session interoperable with Signal?

I currently have a lot of my light automations setup by first having an automation that turns the light on at a certain time, then another that turns the light off at another time. This works, and it has for years, but I'm imagining there must be blueprints or other methods to do this on/ off behavior in a single automation rather than having them in pairs (this is not scaling very well).

Anyone have suggestions? The image is a blueprint I have for turning lights on/ off based on a time window which is very handy, and I'm hoping there's something similar out there for my needs.

I realized I have some old hue bulbs laying around, and they're working well enough with my Zigbee controller (no bridge), but if I decide to scale up I definitely don't want to pay the Hue premium.

Anyone have a Zigbee bulb brand they recommend? I hear Third Reality is nice?

I previously hacked together an Ikea sensor which worked well for the price, but was not weatherproof, and my solution caused the temperatures to be very inaccurate.

I'm looking for something that can be used offline (connects to HA via WiFi, Zigbee, etc but does not need WAN access) and is plug and play. I see some solutions like this, but am not sure if they will work in an 'offline' mode. Anyone have any suggestions? Something with wind speed, etc would be awesome.

I am looking for a privacy respecting (and ideally E2EE supporting) email/ calendar/ contacts provider.

I had previously used ProtonMail up until a few months ago when the CEO started getting political (bummer).

I've since been using TutaMail, and while it's a bit rough on the UI/UX, I do appreciate that the team behind it seems very privacy focused. One problem here though, is that family that is also using this is ending up in spam folders when emailing others (I guess Tuta is more likely to be flagged as spam).

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternate providers?

I am looking for a simple to use VoIP provider that I mainly plan to use for 2FA (when a cell number is required). I know there are checks that sometimes prevent VoIP from being used but I figure it's worth a shot.

MySudo looks nice but they require Google play services to be installed, VoIP.ms looks nice too but I've had a hard time getting a hold of anyone there to help with activating my account.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I've used Graphene OS for years, but only recently started taking advantage of the profiles feature.

Currently the Owner profile that you log into on first boot is my main profile, and I have a secondary decoy profile that I can switch to. Is this the best way to do this, or should it be the other way around so that on first boot you go into the decoy, which also allows you to end the session of the main profile?

I just got my first ereader, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase books but also download them (.epub, etc) after purchasing. I want to support the authors, but I also want to actually own the thing I'm paying for. Is ebooks.com a good option?
