I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Tailscale is a layer on top of wireguard and is a VPN. Don't open your home to the outside world, that's just asking for trouble.

Tailscale is a great choice for you at this stage for accessing your stuff from anywhere and not worrying about anyone else. Downside is if Tailscale decides to enshittify some day you (a lot of us) will have to figure what our next move is.

For the casual and/or beginner, it really is an excellent service even at the free tier.

    i dont have that much knowledge about security, but would it be reasonable to expose a single raspberry in a dmz behind a firewall as a headscale vps?

    i mean it would be hard for an attacker to get past the physical firewall into the main network, right?

    on the other hand they wouldnt need to get past the firewall if they take over the headscale server… edit: but that would also happen, if a vps hosted somewhere else, got infected, right?
