It’s accessing literally anything you self host from home, with minimal latency and without any port forwarding on your router or exposing your services to the Internet.
It’s primary benefit is how fast it is, how much easier it is to set up for even the most novice of users, and how ubiquitous all the clients are.
Plus it’s free for 100 endpoints, which is far more than most individuals will need for home labs. And even that you can get around by using subnet routing.
If you’ve ever wanted to run your own sort of Dropbox or Google docs (Syncthing/Next cloud) but didn’t want to deal with the security hassle of exposing it to the Internet, this removes that completely. No more struggling with open ports, fail2ban, or messing with reverse proxies.
Ludicrously simple setup, that’s all.
This is not remotely ghetto, this is really well done. Sure the fans are a bit wonky but that is one hell of a machine for the money.
Well done!
You can actually take it one step further and directly integrate NextDNS into your Tailnet: https://tailscale.com/kb/1218/nextdns/
Private DNS. I use https://nextdns.io/, and then just change my phone’s private DNS address to match.
Works great, easy enough to toggle off if needed.
I stopped messing with port forwarding and reverse proxies and fail2ban and all the other stuff a long time ago.
Everything is accessible for login only locally, and then I add Tailscale (alternative would be ZeroTier) on top of it. Boom, done. Everything is seamless, I don’t have any random connection attempts clogging up my logging, and I’ve massively reduced my risk surface. Sure I’m not immune; if the app communicates on the internet, it must be regularly patched, and that I do my best to keep up with.
Just so I understand, you’re using your compose file to handle updating images? How does that work? I’m using some hacked together recursive shell function I found to update all my images at once.
Side note, I really feel for you with the duplicate comments, it happens to me constantly and I know it’s not our fault :(
Tailscale completely negated and desire I’ve ever had to run any kind of proxy or VPN. The setup tool all of 30 seconds to make an account, and then like 15-20 seconds per client. I set it up once several months ago and I completely forgot about it…it’s just quietly working in the background, completely transparent to me.
I’ve gotta say I’ve been using Porkbun for a few years now and I’ve never been caught off guard by insane renewal prices.
Strong suggestion for Tailscale here. It is incredibly easy to use and very easy to set up with multiple users. Opening ports directly to the internet is a thing of the past for me now, ever since I started.
Driving a Leaf 100km a day does not mean that the battery has a range of 100km or more. It is extremely common to charge whenever you park, whether at work or when stopping at home or any time in between drives. With a charge in the middle of the day, even a car with a max range of 50km could still do 100km in one day.
The point he’s making is not about range, it’s about the longevity and the reliability of the car.
