Even if you only have a Raspberry Pi at home, you owe it to yourself to run Tailscale (or a selfhostable alternative, if you're up to it). It's just so calming to know that you'll always be able to connect to any of your systems.

Running syncthing to keep your devices in sync but you depend on dreadful self-signed certificates for transport security? Tailscale just sets up wireguard tunnels between each of your devices.

The ingress controller or loadbalancer of your homelab isn't responding? As long as it's not your uplink/ISP, Tailscale will make sure you can reach your stuff.

Tailscale is a game changer! I wish nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll would bring the app to their node 🤙 but for now a subnet router works ok

Yeah Tailscale is great, I use it to sync two true-nas systems and being able to access both remotley, works flawless 👌

Same here, Tailscale just makes life so much easier.

What if I'm always home?

You found that one exception where tailscale won't benefit you!

I had openvpn for a while, but I wasn't really using it. I'll take aloik at Tailscale, but I'm usually home.

I have dynamic DNS set up, though. But that's not as secure when accessing it remotely.

you forgot the taildrop feature!!!

True!

i tried tailscale exit node the speed drops by 1/10 on the exit side.

seems i need 1 Gig connection on fibre.
