Great setup, two questions, do you have 2 VPNs now or all on one Hetzner VPS? And how do you setup security?

Just recommend swapping vercel/netlify with something else, we had quite a few issues and high costs with them. Not opiniated here, currently using Cloudflare and BunnyCDN (which is great)

I just SSH into the servers when I need to. I don't have any VPNs with these servers. I just try to follow normal server security setup practices, disabling password authentication etc.

That’s what I do. Sensible firewall rules with ufw, turn off services I don’t use, follow the docs for the services I do. For a handful of servers the maintenance overhead is fine.

I worried being behind in server-security, since all those 0days now being so easy to pull from claude/chatgpt, that maybe you guys found a risk-minimizing front-end to reduce the attack-surface.
