From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your security, is the connection to the outside world safe?
Tailscale is a private VPN tunnel into your home network basically. There would be nothing that is accessible by the public.
This is a valid question, but it's hard to answer because it depends on the security of your own network. Tailscale creates a secure tunnel directly into your home network, but if your home network is compromised then it's not secure.
Could Tailscale be compromised? I think it would be difficult but not impossible. It's safe enough for personal use, certainly, but I wouldn't use it to protect state secrets.
And if you have it on your phone, and someone gets access to your phone, then they can access your home network. How secure is your phone? Do you use biometrics or a password keeper? Do you leave your laptop unlocked?
Security is a mixed topic, and it's impossible to pull one thread from the sweater without unraveling the whole thing. Sometimes the illusion of security is as effective as actually being secure, and sometimes it isn't at all.
I am using public vps as entry point with reverse tunnel to home server with SSL
