Yes. Firewalls.

With an iPhone, however, you are screwed. Apple won’t let you do what you are looking for.

The answer is mTLS.

But you will run into the key distribution problem. But if your number of devices is manageable, it could be the solution

Could you expand a little please? I read this https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/access-management/what-is-mutual-tls/

It seems this is mainly for reaching the server securely not blocking others, right?

You create a (self-signed) CA certificate, put its certificate as the client ca in your web server.

Then you can create certificates using this CA that you distribute to your devices, only devices that have a certificate signed by your CA are allowed to connect.

Create a post

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:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
