  • The main problem I see you running into is that if they decide for any reason to go after you (even just cause now they want your domain), it won't matter if they have a solid legal standing or not. They can afford to tie you up in court indefinitely, and you will likely be unable to outlast them.

    Source: This is exactly what happened to my family. We have the same last name as a large corporation, and in the early days of the internet we registered a domain based on a name-related slogan they had used in an older commercial compaign. We were just hosting a basic family website and email, and clearly had no conflicting or overlapping IP. We even checked in advance - they did not own a trademark for the slogan or the name.

    A few years later, they decided the wanted the domain for themelves, but instead of offering us a fair price to purchase, they first filed a trademark for the slogan and then sued us for the domain. If we'd had the funds to continue fighting we would have eventually won, but we're just a middle class family and they're a large multi-national corporation with near infinite funds to pay their lawyers. We lost the domain, and it cost us a small fortune in legal fees fighing it.

    Proceed with caution.

  • You might try ZeroTier. You'll each need a tiny client app, but its super easy to install and setup, and extremely secure. Free to use with up to 25 devices.

  • Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

  • Yeah, they provide a "Flow" section where you can setup firewall-like rules to control your flow of traffic. You can configure rules that say, allow ssh to a specific server, but only from a specified devices, while allowing ssh, https and smb to another server from any device, blocking all other TCP traffic. UDP is a little weirder to control, but there's a decent tutorial with example configs.

    I hear about TailScale a lot, and I know its super popular in the self-hosting & linux communities. I haven't used it myself though, so can't offer a comparison vs ZeroTier. I found ZeroTier refreshjngly easy to use and install on client devices, so haven't had reason to look elsewhere yet.

    Anyway, have fun with your endeavor!

  • Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

    Jump

  • I just finished building a cloud solution leveraging an AWS EFS (elastic file system), a secure ZeroTier mesh, and a simple EC2 instance (vm) running Samba (or just sshfs/scp/sftp if multi-user file locking isn't needed). EFS does have some pretty big limitations like the fact users can't be in more than 16 groups (because it behaves like an NFS mount), and it lacks xattr and ACL support. Still, if you can work around these shortcomings you can build a very secure, surprisingly speedy cloud filesystem. Largest expense is the EFS, but after 30 days infrequently accessed files automatically move to slower storage, which is way cheaper. ZeroTier is an important piece of the puzzle, making your security and encryption a breeze. This allows you to run SMB over the internet without actually exposing any services. Connections are only made through your ZT mesh, which is highly secure.
