Interesting, though I suspect that is a false positive, it’s happened before with that software

https://rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=9037.0

Most likely because it is a self-contained web server executable? That sort of software would seem suspicious and similar to other sorts of virus/malware.

Granted I have not used it in a while but I’d be surprised if it were true, their forums and github would be full of reports of malware.

That aside you have plenty of other options to use if you prefer to use something else.

Syncthing, Resilio Sync, or one of those browser based p2p file sends e.g. https://file.pizza or similar.

If both p2p ends know how to use torrents then creating a simple torrent to share to the other peer would work fine. But that requires slightly more IT competence especially if someone needs to open a port forward (ideally you would make sure you have your own port forwarded so the other party doesn’t have to worry about this).

If you’re doing this more than once it might be worth setting up a simple server e.g. HFS is a nice open source/free HTTP file server, been a while since I used it but it still seems to be active https://www.rejetto.com/hfs/

Sucks but not surprising. Broadcom has a history of doing things like this, ugh. Even with their paid products they jack up the price so much that the only customers that stick around are the business enterprise types that are locked in & can’t easily migrate for various reasons.

and opened port 587 in my router

Agreed with the other comment, you definitely don’t need or want to do that on your end. Note that your self hosted instance is trying to establish an outgoing connection with a random port to port 587 at wherever your hosted email is e.g. yourdockeripaddress:randomport --> mydomain.com.au:587

I don’t have Bitwarden self hosted so can’t offer much advice on a solution but…

I’ve also tried to connect with my gmail but no luck. When I try to verify my email I just get “An unhandled server error has occurred”

This makes me think there’s something off with your environment, or the Bitwarden instance itself. Is there a way for you to verify that you can actually use those SMTP servers outside of Bitwarden? This sounds silly but in the past I’ve done a test installation of an email client with ability to connect to 3rd party SMTP servers e.g. Thunderbird just to verify my own internet connection can actually initiate an SMTP connection to an external server. You want to at least rule out that the hosted email server isn’t blocking you and/or have some over-active firewall on your end blocking things.

This is all in the absence of more verbose logging (not sure if Docker or Bitwarden can give you that, something worth checking).

However, the server doesn’t have the best power consumption, so I’d like to use WoL to remotely turn it on.

When you say remotely you mean over the internet, right? Or did you mean remotely within the same LAN e.g. from your living room or wherever.

By default WOL doesn’t work over the internet AFAIK. The wikipedia page mentions it a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Subnet_directed_broadcasts

Like others said you may be able to get that going with a VPN or anything VPN-like that allows broadcasts between connected systems. Or if your motherboard supports IPMI / IMM you should be able to connect to the system & perform power functions that way.

In my case my motherboard doesn’t have those sort of management functions so in the end I settled on logging into my router remotely & initiated WOL through there. That could be another option for you if your network router is capable of sending WOL packets to the LAN.

However, the server doesn’t have the best power consumption, so I’d like to use WoL to remotely turn it on.

You may need to reach out to your VPN provider’s support to check if that is a supported feature. Many VPN providers with port forward support can only do it within their application.

From OP’s link under the “operate a Snowflake proxy” section

You can join thousands of volunteers from around the world who have a Snowflake proxy installed and running. There is no need to worry about which websites people are accessing through your Snowflake proxy. Their visible browsing IP address will match their Tor exit node, not yours.

A Snowflake proxy is not a Tor exit node.
