I want to switch from Tailscale to IPv6, but do I do without IPv6 mobile network? - eviltoast

Hi, my home connection is under CGNAT and to overcome the problem and access my selfhosted applications through my iPhone or other PCs I use Tailscale.

Tailscale is beautiful but it is not selfhosted so I thought I would switch to using IPv6 on my home network (my ISP has support) and configure WireGuard.

The problem is when I am away from home and use my iPhone cellular network, this does not support IPv6.

Are there any solutions?

    Nope if you don’t have ipv6 you cannot connect to ipv6 ip

    Another solution is to get a cheap vps in this black friday and tunnel your traffic through it

    Tailscale is beautiful but it is not selfhosted so

    Headscale is a thing. Tailscale themselves promote it.

    I’d seriously consider using a relay/jumphost/etc VPS between your home network and roaming clients. That way, you can even continue using tailscale.

    You can get this easily for under $3/month even without black friday.
