Was planning on hosting from my home server. Will definitely read up on those protocols and the recommendations. Have certificates and domain routed through Cloudflare. ISP is Optus but it's not a business connection so that could be problematic r.e: spam filters :/

Sweet thanks. Only other thing I've been concerned about is opening ports into my network. Anything you've done to increase the security with this in mind?

By VPS I assume you mean I would need to spin up a new Ubuntu VM instead of say run it in docker along with a bunch of other services. Or are you saying I'd need to have a completely separate barebones machine?

Thoughts on Lavabit VPN (play.google.com)
 

I know it's not recommended to use a free VPN provider and that they're based in the US. However based on Lavabit's history and that the VPN requires no signup or personal information I'm curious how this community interprets this utility.

Currently using Tutanota but they've just retired my current plan and doubled the price.

I'm looking into hosting my own email. I would like to have encryption but it doesn't function very well when both sender and receiver need to be on the same platform. In addition none of the information being sent by email is overly sensitive so it's not a must.

Anyone that's hosting their own email or has experience/knowledge of Lavabit that would care to chime in I'd be greatly appreciative.

I'm currently running OPNsense virtualised in Proxmox. It's a little confusing if you haven't run a custom firewall before but the setup was relatively simple and works flawlessly now that I understand it a bit better. The only downside being if you are running it on the same machine as your services and need to restart, your network will go down as well. Ideally I will get another machine just for network services as it sounds like you are doing.
