I used to LOVE tailscale. Then I put wireguard on my home network exposed to the internet with a dynamic DNS provider and it immediately became irrelevant. Not only is raw wireguard more stable (I don't have to fight the DNS issues on my mobile phones) it feels faster and is amazingly simple to set up.

Care to share your setup? I did some research into self hosting my own wireguard for my nuc and rpi, before ultimately settling on Tailscale because of how much simpler and plug-and-lay it was to add/remove devices compared to self hosting wireguard, not dealing with certificates, maintenance, etc.

		There are no certificates to share with Wireguard. Nothing to rotate if you don't want to. Once it works, it works. I've even got a backup wireguard server running on a Pi 1b. Works fine. We currently run wireguard on our router (and it seems more and more routers are supporting it). There are keys to configure for each client, but once you have the configuration for one client, the rest come very quickly and easily. I should add that I don't have any experience with Tailscale, but compared to OpenVPN and other VPN solutions, Wireguard is lightweight, simple, and easy to setup/configure. We use it on all our mobile devices (phones, laptops, tablets) to tunnel our traffic through our home network with all the filtering it offers (along side access to private services we host).

My favorite thing about Tailscale is how it lets you SSH/RDP INTO servers without having to open any ports.
