- camdenAR (19 Oct 23)
fix(scripts): Match full client name when disabling This fix prevents "pivpn -off" from failing to disable a client when another client is already disabled and the disabled client name starts with the client name you're trying to disable. e.g. "user-1" wasn't able to be disabled if "user" was already disabled.

PiVPN Reviews
More Self-Hosted Network Security
-
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.
-
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.
-
Powerful open source web content filter.
-
Widely used, open source firewall/router.
-
Detect if you have a malware-infected computer on your network, and powerful network analysis framework and monitor.
-
Open-source self-hosted VPN and firewall built on WireGuard®.
