A jump host is just a system that serves as an exit point into the restricted network. You can do this with Ubuntu desktop but you need to figure out how you are going to jump into your host. Others have mentioned tail scale and head scale as options for doing this. Tailscale would be an example of an agent based adhoc vpn solution; this would place a dependency on an external provider to host a connection broker service and use an agent that periodically checks into the broker service for connection requests. Headscale would be the self hosted option and you would need to forward a port into your network and you should guard it with a reverse proxy.

Good point about network availability and endpoints.

Since I have no patience, I’ll lay out some items for consideration.

1st, I wouldn’t rely on an ISP router to serve as my end point for a VPN. They likely have access to manage that device and it likely isn’t getting any updates. You are better off implementing it with your own equipment that you keep updated.

If you have a capable security device serving as your router to the external internet and you want full access to your internal network, then you might consider using a VPN that terminates at your router.

I myself am a fan of setting up a jump host and initiating a VPN connection directly to that host when using an agent based solution. Then you can monitor the host for activities, more easily keep your edge device patched, and then use the capabilities of your jump host to interact with the rest of your network. This would require either an agent to periodically poll a platform for connection requests or another form of ingress into your network.

Expand on your use case. Why/what do want to access on your local network when you are not there?

Omg, I agree. I hate seeing the same article posted to 10 different instances all lined up in a row.

More than 5 posts would raise the likelihood of people blocking that instance because of spam. Less is more.

It sounds like you are looking for a server that is ripe for bot abuse. What time frame did the admin say not more than 5 posts. I would tend to think they mean 5 posts a day which sounds completely reasonable to be for an upper limit on posts per day into a single sub.

Hmm interesting to learn, thank you for sharing. I still contend that it shouldn’t be coward going to coward. It should be a verb for the last word as it is in Haters going to Hate. I am not familiar with coward being used as a verb.

Alex Lace according to a reverse image search. No real idea who he is.

The verb form is cower. Apparently not.

Why do they get a second deadline to respond to the request?

I think it is defined as they are protected in travel to, from, and while sitting in formal sessions, not official duties.

Snippet from the constitution.

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Thank you for an informative and insightful comment.

Five bucks says he was told to wait for a budget to be provided from the DOGE.

The headlines leave out the part where this is a requirement of their security clearance. It is not uncommon for those holding a security clearance to be discouraged or prohibited from relationships with foreign nationals. It also isn’t a direct prohibition, it would just result in a loss of their clearance, and you are absolutely correct that this will result in more leverage against US personnel.

I agree, many of those articles are not news. The are opinion editorial pieces just like this one. This is political article and should be posted in politics, not news. I contend that the failure to differentiate opinion pieces from objective news is the reason so many people are able to fall victim to misinformation campaigns.
