So I’m just being introduced to the concept of using a VPN or something like Tailscale to access one’s services, instead of opening the services directly to the web, but I’m thinking for streaming purposes or just accessing your services on the run, isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time? Or do you keep the VPN running on your phone for example? What if you use a VPN provider for privacy purposes, wouldn’t one need to then switch VPN connection?

    @BearOfaTime @Yingwu I don’t see folks mentioning it, but yggdrasil is what I use instead of tailscale. Not just for easy access to machines across networks, but also for exposing services; I have a VPS running apache that does a reverse proxy to the service via yggdrasil-specific IP.
