Recommendation: Tailscale VPN (lemmy.world)

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.

It's not self-hosted, I refuse to use anything that relies on any third party

Check out Headscale, pretty stable on my end

I was using tailscale to transport files between devices quickly but I got an email about a vulnerability that leaked some info. I don't even use it for the vpn part so I just made a protal on a vps that I use now for file transfer. Tailscale was pretty fast at that though, and they were open about the exploit, so I think they're pretty cool.

I run a single headscale node on one of my free Oracle OCI instances, and connect about a dozen devices to it. No fear of adding friends either, since it's free.

I like it, but it consumes copious amounts of battery on my Android phone. I only use it for 1) ssh and 2) services that I don't want / need to be accessible over the Internet

[–] slip@818.gallery 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you use tailscale for ssh instead of termux?

[–] benjacoblee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know what Termux was before this

But if it's ssh on Android, I use Termius (which I haven't used all that much tbh)
