I had heard of Tailscale, vaguely knew it was low-touch VPN, but I never bothered to look into it because I had Cloudflare tunnels and DNS/routing that I was satisfied with.

But that post here from a few days back got me to finally look into Tailscale.

And just - wow. I can't believe how dead simple this is. No more messing with cloudflare cli for tunneling. Easiest user management I could ask for. AND I can 1-click designate exit nodes?? So I can watch xfinity stream on my apple tv outside my home now??

I fucking love Tailscale.

Someone out there surely can relate to my first paragraph. If you are that person - this is your sign to go look into Tailscale NOW

While I love tailscale for remoting into home assistant and all of my local projects I've always had an issue with the exit node functionality. Works most of the time but there's sometimes a chance I'll choose a relay for no reason or just decide that the port I specified no longer matters and switches to something that I don't have port forwarded.

Also when I connect another client to an exit node the 2nd client had unusable download speeds with fast upload and the 1st client just works.

It's 80% there for my use case but it falls short by a little bit. Still using it though.
