Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Tailscale. It’s actually pretty fantastic.
  • I don’t understand why everyone here is so insistent on solutions like Cloudflare tunnel or Tailscale to prevent any login pages or ports from being public facing.
  • You can see the only IPs that were allowed are my tailscale IPs, and couple of my other static IPs (redacted).
  • and I’ve discovered tailscale is freaking awesome
  • while torrenting would be the easiest, you can just setup tailscale (which is essentially a VPN to connect hosts to each other), and then setup some sort of file server

Cons

  • If you do (or use ngrok/cloudflare/tailscale...), run a WAF.
  • I can probably turn the WG stuff off as he appears to have migrated to Tailscale (but I have to find the nodes).
  • Rn running Pihole Nxt cloud bit warden tailscale self hosted my resume website
  • You could also setup DNS for adblocking, home automation/assistant, Tailscale vpn, immich/next cloud.

You could host an accessible file server or web server and give them access through tailscale.

Tailscale container acting as my main jump box for remote SSH/web access to the entire lab

Tailscale is another option if you want a simplified option.
