Help managing access to friend's various VPN services (Tailscale, Wireguard, Twingate) (discuss.online)

I find everyone using different services, so unsure how to best manage (and balance) concurrent access in Ubuntu/Debian to:

Local network services
Tailscale services from userA
Tailscale services from userB
Wireguard (OpenVPN also option) from userC
Twingate from userD

Each user is wanting to share different services via VPN, and pressuring any to change their production setups to a different style of VPN is not going to happen.

Management via software in Ubuntu
Possibly up a routing device along the lines of OpenWrt or OpnSense.
- Could even distribute such devices between these friends.

Thanks for all thoughts!

Example setup:

Jellyfin user access from TailscaleA
Nextcloud user access from TailscaleB
Jellyfin user access from Wireguard
Jellyfin user access from Twingate
Jellyfin user access from local services

How would you manage this in a somewhat seamless manner?
