Right now I’ve been using Tailscale because it automatically adapts to my network conditions. If I’m at home, it’ll prioritize local network connection, but when I’m out and about, it’ll automatically beam a direct connection or use a relay.
One gripe I have about it is I can’t run it alongside my normal VPNs on my mobile devices. I have to choose between one or the other.
I have tried Cloudflare Tunnel before, but using it for streaming, like Jellyfin, is forbidden. There’s also the added latency and slowness to having to hop through multiple DCs to reach Cloudflare and back.
I just have all my services exposed through reverse proxy with whatever authentication they have on their webpage. I see most people using VPN which I know is the more secure option but I like the zero setup of just typing in the name of the service I want to go to and just having it work. Is there a better way to secure this?
Do authentication in the reverse proxy if you can (e.g., basic auth or forward auth like Authelia, the second also has the benefit of SSO).
add fail2ban, so they cannot brute force the web interface.
