tailscale vs cloudflare tunnel? which is better a homelab - eviltoast

Hello I’ve been using cloudflare to get remote access for the couple apps I selfhost, but lately I’ve been hearing about the wonders of tailscale.

It seems that the free tier is enough for my use. Which would be a safe option to have remote access for my 3D printer? Also how are both in terms of privacy?

    I’m probably not the beat person to answer to you about the technical aspect and I’m not sure if I fully understand your question.

    However I can tell you that there is no need to change anything at network level for tailscale to work.

    I’ve installed and used tailscale on desktops, VM, raspberry, NAS or smartphone on plenty of different network, I’ve also remotely guided people to install tailscale on their machine at home and it always just worked. No issue at all and nothing to change on the network for it to work.
