Recommendation: Tailscale VPN - eviltoast

tailscale.com

I have been using Tailscale VPN with my servers for about 6 months now and I would recommend it to anyone.

I’m running it on both of my Proxmox machines, my laptop, a raspberry pi, and my Android phone. It makes it super easy and secure to access my local services while away from my house.

Very simple set up, minimal initial configuration, and versatile.

There are apps for Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

Is anyone else currently using Tailscale? I’d like to hear what you all think.

    I have an issue with my cell carrier blocking traffic to my home WireGuard server. It works from everywhere else and other cell services so I know it’s them. I’m definitely gonna try out Tailscale to see if it’ll get around it. Thanks for the tip. Too bad about the battery drain but I’m usually only hopping on for a minute to run a few commands over ssh or whatever so shouldn’t be a big deal.

      Yeah tailscale is definitely useable on the phone if you toggle it only when you’re gonna use it. I keep it on because I have piHole as the VPN DNS so I get adblocking everywhere I go wether I’m on public wifi or cellular. So I need something that doesn’t drink battery juice. Wireguard ftw.
