Hi, I’m Azher. This site is the documentation of my (sometimes chaotic) attempts to build a better internet right inside my own home.

My goal? To unplug from the major online services that track our every move and replace them with self-hosted alternatives. My method? A lot of trial and error.

I am not an enterprise sysadmin; I’m just someone who values privacy and loves to tinker. Here, you’ll find guides, walkthroughs, and post-mortems of my homelab projects. whether it’s setting up OPNsense, deploying Docker containers, or just trying to keep the uptime green. Hopefully, my notes help you build your own independence—or at least save you from making the same mistakes I did.
