Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Doesn't work in China, can be easily blocked by censors
Who said anything about China?
OP: "I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis."
Many of the prominent https VPN protocols are for evading the great firewall of China. OP had that as a requirement, so it is not an unreasonable assumption.
If you are evading less locked down firewalls, then you don't need as stealthy VPNs.
OP said exactly the opposite. Where the fuck do you get this stuff?
From OP's post, of course. If OP does not need to evade firewalls that are that aggressive, then they should have settled for a less stealthy VPN solution, as many of these HTTPS proxy solutions have performance and usability (can often only proxy TCP traffic) tradeoffs.
Perhaps they have already tried the wireguard on port 443 solution, and it didn't work for them. My high school would auto detect and block wireguard to any port. Perhaps they are in a similar situation.
Most Chinese exits through port snooping. And you really need to be on a Chinese corp network to know - if you take your western mobile there they do very little blocking.
I’ve been fairly successful with most China corp networks letting me out and in to self-hosted WG server on port 123.
