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.
Have you ever had to cut your network?
Nope. And I doubt I ever will.
But it is pennies a month in terms of power loss having a smart plug and gives me peace of mind for a big ass potential vulnerability.
