Traveling with devices while working in cybersecurity means navigating border crossings, airport inspections, and untrusted environments — all while keeping data secure and downtime minimal. In this talk, Justin demonstrates the self‑hosted infrastructure he relies on to operate safely in hostile or unpredictable conditions.

- A secure and resilient personal network
- Data integrity even under stress or device loss
- Privacy preservation with minimal disruption
- Reliable access to critical services while traveling
This session offers practical insight into building a portable, self‑hosted security stack that provides peace of mind no matter where you are in the world.

- Security‑minded travelers
- Self‑hosting enthusiasts
- Anyone needing resilient personal infrastructure
