  • I self host as well as use bitwardens service.

    I pay $10 a year, and never have I had access issues with it.

    My self hosted instance houses everything for my other self hosted services.

    I can also have my Bitwarden duplicated to my self hosted instance.

    However, the only way to access my Vailtwarden instance is via my network. And for my use case, this is perfect.

    Neither of them have I had any downtime; like others have said it’s anecdotal.



  • So, I of course rebooted everything i could, the box hosting my DNS/PiHole, VPN, docker box, etc. However, was remote and couldn’t reboot my modem.

    I lowered my MTU on my VPN client config after rebooting my modem, and it’s working.

    I don’t fully understand why it worked, but it did.

    Maybe something on my ISPs end that wasn’t functioning.


  • I turned on query logging for my PiHole. I chose a random site I don’t typically browse, and confirmed I saw it logged in my PiHole. Though, I am thinking it’s likely DNS that’s causing issues.

    I even tried turning off split tunneling, and it does the same thing.

    I checked automatic DNS setting on my phone.


    I don’t know if it will make a difference but the DNS records for my local services are CNAME records, so I am going to change it to an A/AAAA record on PiHole.

    I have these set in PiHole and not my Unbound.
