Update condition to check for sources.list files potential fix for #1924
-
MichaIng (13 Sept 25)
fix(install): consider /lib and /usr/lib both as valid module paths Since Debian Trixie, /usr/lib/modules is correctly considered as valid kernel module path, but 3rd party packages can fomally still ship modules below /lib/modules, or below /usr/lib/modules as well on older Debian versions. Since usrmerge, both are effectively the same directory anyway. Hence always consider both paths. Signed-off-by: MichaIng <[email protected]>

Fix UFW throwing invalid position error during IPv6 configuration. UFW reports "ERROR: Invalid position at ‘1’" when attempting to insert an IPv6 rule above an IPv4 rule, which breaks IPv6 functionality on setups running UFW. This is fixed by appending the rule below all others.

feat(install): Add possibility to use Pi-hole in unattended install (#1825) In unattended install, there is no possibility to specify if user wants to use Pi-hole DNS as DNS. Introducing a --use-pihole argument, user can decide if PiVPN configuration should be aligned to the Pi-hole installation.

PiVPN Reviews
More Self-Hosted Network Security
-
Powerful open source web content filter.
-
Open-source self-hosted VPN and firewall built on WireGuard®.
-
A hardened, versatile, state-of-the-art open source firewall based on Linux. Its ease of use, high performance and extensibility make it usable for everyone.
-
Widely used, open source firewall/router.
-
Network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole. Pi-Hole can significantly speed up your internet, remove ads and block malware. It comes with a nice web interface and a mobile app with monitoring features, it's open source, easy to install and very widely used.
-
Another DNS server for blocking privacy-invasive content at its source. Technitium doesn't require much of a setup, and basically works straight out of the box, it supports a wide range of systems (and can even run as a portable app on Windows). It allows you to do some additional tasks, such as add local DNS addresses and zones with specific DNS records. Compared to Pi-Hole, Technitium is very lightweight, but lacks the deep insights that Pi-Hole provides, and has a significantly smaller community behind it.
-
Detect if you have a malware-infected computer on your network, and powerful network analysis framework and monitor.
