Streisand sets up a new server running your choice of WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, or a Tor bridge. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with fri

Burner Note▲222In 2021 after getting thoroughly sick of Privnote, i built "Burner Note". Even though i didn't promote it in anyway other than a post here and a post on reddit, it ended up getting about 7000(ish) unique users per month. I kinda let it die about 18 months ago but i've resurrected it with some big upgrades. Most botable the app is now truly end to end encrypted (previously was just server side), and I've added dark mode as well as a few other bells and whistles. Feedback welcomed.

I'm launching Wirewiki.com today! Wirewiki makes the internet’s hidden infrastructure browsable. I quit my job 5 years ago to scale Nslookup.io. But after reaching 600k monthly users, I hit a ceiling. I couldn't naturally expand beyond DNS because of the domain name. So I went back to the drawing board: how would I make it today? Not as a collection of tools, but as a browsable graph. I've spent hundreds of hours and commits building that. It's not even at 10% of what I want it to be, but more than enough to be useful, and (in my biased opinion) much better than what's out there. Wirewiki…

Hello! I got quite some feedback on a web server I'm building, so I'm rewriting the server to be faster and easier to use. I (and maybe some other contributors?) have optimized the web server performance, especially for static file serving and reverse proxying (the last use case I optimized for very recently). I also picked a different configuration format and specification, what I believe is easier to write. Automatic TLS is also enabled by default out of the box, you don't need to even enable it manually, like it was in the original server I was building. Yesterday, I released the first…

With internet censorship and surveillance on the rise, ie; UK Online Safety Bill (July 2025) and Australia's social media legislation (Dec 2025) introducing mandatory age verification (read: initial step on the pathway to social credit), I wanted a privacy-first solution that protects browsing history from ISPs and third-party verification services, but not one that requires you to be an Einstein to deploy. This stack turns a Raspberry Pi (or any OpenWrt-compatible device) into a network-wide VPN gateway. Key features: - Firewall kill switch: VPN down = no internet (not a software rule that…

I built a chained VPN lab to support multi-user traffic isolation using only raw Linux tools. Each user gets: - A WireGuard tunnel - A dedicated namespace (wg-$user) bridged via veth - NAT and routing table override - A second namespace (ovpn-$user) running OpenVPN - Final egress through tun1 The entire setup is controlled with bash scripts and PostgreSQL — no Docker, no containers, no Python, just raw netns, iptables, ip rule and shell. Built for GDPR-compliant VPN infra with real isolation per collaborator. Code and README:…

Hey HN, I’m an ex-Google engineer trying to get back into music production. I needed a way to sequence my hardware synths using AI contexts without constantly switching windows, so I built this. It runs entirely in the browser using WebMIDI. No login required. It connects to your local MIDI devices (if you're on Chrome/Edge) and lets you generate patterns. Tech stack: [React / WebMIDI API / etc]. Link: www.simplychris.ai/droplets Code is a bit messy, but it works. Feedback welcome.

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a side project called torserv and figured I’d share it now that it’s live on GitHub. TorServ is a zero-config static web server that automatically launches as a Tor hidden service. It’s written in Go, bundled with Tor, and designed to be unzip-and-run — no setup, no clearnet exposure, no surprises. I was surprised there wasn’t already a privacy-hardened static web server for hidden services. Most people have to wrangle Apache or Nginx with heavy config, which is risky and complex for non-experts. TorServ is meant for censorship-resistant publishing, quick…

I'm happy to announce the release of Polaris 0.15.0 . Polaris is a self-hosted music streaming server, to enjoy your music collection from any computer or mobile device. It is free and open-source software, without any kind of premium version. This release is the biggest one since Polaris' humble beginnings 9 years ago. It's technically not a rewrite but there is not much code that was left untouched. The highlights are: - New visual design for the web client (screenshots[1]) - Ability to browse the music collection by artist/album/genre, not only by file - Support for multi-value…
