Which route did you go for your homeland, a tunnel to your services or setting up tail scale/wireguard and access them on your trailer?

    Wireguard.

    Dunno if Cloudflare does effective auth for the tunnel or if you have to set that up yourself, but I don’t bother trying to expose services to the internet in any way because some of this stuff was just never designed for proper web security (cough Jellyfin).

    It’s still worth setting up a wildcard cert with ACME so you get nice https and a real domain.

      Cloudflare has some opt-in auth. Mail-OTP is a nice balance imo: You can allowlist mail addresses per service/subdomain and set expiry for each. Then for access, you first have to enter the mail address, get the OTP and then access the service.

      So, nobody without access to allowed mail addresses even gets to knock on you door.

      But yeah, that’s why I think about going tail scale: why bother having something exposed when not needed?

      I just think, some services might be nice to provide to friends, too - and having them connect to my tailnet for this is a bit too much friction, I guess
