  What caldav clients supports that?

  I’d recommend the Tailscale style approach. MTLS is a pain imo without infrastructure and especially on the app layers

    Tailscale is simpler but when you’re accessing from devices behind VPNs like I do mTLS is a lifesaver.

    I find mTLS cool too :P

  This is the first time I’ve heard of mTLS. Sounds interesting, any tutorial recs?

    Not any in particular but mTLS is essentially just a reverse proxy (like nginx) asking a client for a certificate to be able to access the service behind it.

    There are quite a few guides out there, so choose one for your reverse proxy of choice!

      So it’s the good old client certificate authentication?

        yep

        In my opinion it’s the best solution because there’s a really low attack surface plus it makes it easy to control which device has access to which services.
