+1 for Tailscale. It's a vital piece of the system for me now.
What makes it so useful? Is it just remote access if you're away from your pc, or what do you use it for?
You dont need to expose any ports and the setup is really easy.
And you use the vaultwarden setup where letsencrypt certificates are done via dns challenge?
Tailscale is an overlay network, like a traditional VPN, but with very little config needed to get everything connected. You can use their managed lighthouse and management servers or run your own with Headscale.
Basically you just login to tailscale on all your devices and they get a LAN connection piped over the Internet without opening ports or needing to manage any infrastructure.
Basically that's how I use it, just a secure VPN tunnel to my home hosted stuff while I'm out. Painless to set up.
