That was it! I messed around with the port-forward settings with no luck in the past. Disabling the “Masquerade” option in the firewall settings for the server’s VLAN worked. Thanks a bunch.

Both.

Thanks. I have been lurking ever since Reddit’s third-party client shenanigans, actually. 😅

The Android client has a recurring bug where the connection to the Tailnet and the DNS break about half the time when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Plus, I can’t use it and a VPN at the same time.

I can remedy that by toggling the connection off and on from the notifications panel, but it still keeps breaking with stuff that use a persistent connection, like ntfy (a UnifiedPush server).

Yeah, it is the proxy. Same is true for SSH, though.

That’s what I meant by the non-profit motive. Reddit and Discord sell those data for more profit.

Lemmy (or Fediverse) is not private at all.

Its main appeal (at least for me) is the non-profit motive and censorship resistance, and that you can also browse it anonymously.

If you are getting IP blocked by your instance (server you are connected to), just choose another one.

Nope

I am self-hosting FMD and it works pretty well
