This is my regular announcement that you need Tailscale in your life. I’m here in Korea on my iPhone but I’m watching Netflix using my Synology NAS back in Oregon as an exit node. Absolutely rock solid personal free VPN *and* amazing for teams and developers as well. Magical.
@shanselman while I certainly had the knowledge and ability to set up an alternative, Tailscale was certainly much, much easier. I use it whenever I'm not on my home network.
@emag @shanselman I used to run my OpenVPN server for years, but then tried Tailscale as a backup VPN. You know, when certificates expire, some change broke something, etc.
Took me a few weeks to realise I'm better off migrating everything to Tailscale. Been running it for more than 3 years now and super happy with it.
@y4si0 @shanselman what sold it for me was it was the first time I frictionlessly set something up, it just worked, and a late college associate who was *way* smarter than I could hope to be told me I'd made a good decision.
