setup_dns_blocker.sh turns this PC into a DNS server that serves the
identical /etc/hosts blocklist to the whole LAN with no per-device app,
by feeding generate_hosts_file.sh output into dnsmasq via addn-hosts
(same StevenBlack variant + custom entries + unblocks). Adds status/
refresh subcommands, a daily refresh timer, Restart=always, and logging
to /var/log/dns-blocker/.
Because the ISP router cannot advertise a custom DNS server, a dhcp/
dhcp-off mode makes the PC the LAN DHCP server (static IP via nmcli with
a gateway-ping self-check and safe, always-online rollback), handing out
itself as the DNS server so every device is blocked automatically.
setup_wireguard_ssh.sh gains an allow-dns subcommand that opens DNS (53,
LAN saddr) and DHCP (67) in the single-owner nftables ruleset. The DHCP
accept rule is placed before 'ct state invalid drop' because the
0.0.0.0->255.255.255.255 DHCP broadcast is classified INVALID and was
otherwise dropped. Firewall detection now reads the actual loaded ruleset
(a ruleset can be loaded while nftables.service reads inactive) and avoids
a grep -q/pipefail SIGPIPE false-negative.
Verified end-to-end: Pixel-6a leased 192.168.1.82 with DNS 192.168.1.43;
youtube.com blocked, legit sites resolve. Regression tests added.

Deploys Gitea+Caddy (auto-HTTPS via Let's Encrypt) at kuhy.duckdns.org,
extends setup_wireguard_ssh.sh with an allow-web firewall subcommand, and
mirrors all 21 GitHub repos (5 private) via Gitea's native pull-mirror.
Runs containers with host networking to work around a discovered bug where
this host's nftables forward-chain silently blocks Docker bridge egress.
Adds a self-hosted-service-exposure skill capturing the reusable pattern
and gotchas for future public-facing deployments.

Lets SSH terminal access reach this PC from a phone on a different network
(mobile data vs home broadband), using only FOSS/free software: self-hosted
WireGuard (no relay/coordination server), DuckDNS for the dynamic public IP,
and a default-drop nftables firewall so sshd is never exposed to the WAN
directly -- only the WireGuard UDP port is forwarded, SSH is reachable only
through the tunnel or LAN.
Verified fully end-to-end (phone on mobile data, real handshake + SSH login).
Several bugs only surfaced through live execution and were fixed in place:
a DNS=1.1.1.1 line that broke all phone DNS once the tunnel was active, a
require_root/sudo arg-forwarding bug, hostname/dig not being installed on a
minimal Arch system, a bash RETURN-trap scoping bug, and a DuckDNS cron-dedup
that would have deleted an unrelated pre-existing Joplin DuckDNS cron entry.
Also whitelists the WireGuard/F-Droid/ConnectBot apps (plus the todo app) in
phone_focus_mode's WHITELIST so the GPS-based focus daemon doesn't disable
them. Adds "iif" (nftables keyword) to the codespell ignore-list since it
was flagged as a false-positive typo of "if".
