I’ve tried quite a few services and eventually I mostly settled on running my own WireGuard VPN.

But honestly these days I just use tailscale.

The convenience is really unmatched, and my only qualm was that you had to let them hold the keys in exchange for the convenience of a cloud service to manage everything.

But now with Tailnet Lock you can designate devices as signing nodes which effectively means those devices now hold your keys and tailscale really has no disadvantage over setting up your own WireGuard server manually.

While also being loads easier and more feature-rich.

Their free plan is also quite comfortable with 3 users and 100 devices and virtually all of the features available in the premium/enterprise plans.

Honestly I was very wary of them at first but I’ve really grown to appreciate tailscale to the point I probably sound like a shill
