  But if I correctly understand how Tailscale works I would need to install tailscale on all machines I wish to give access to friends?

    No, installing Tailscale on all machines is not actually required. You can setup a funnel that exposes a service to the internet for all to see. This also removes the requirement for them to access via Wireguard if desired. https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel

    Yes.

    Otherwise, just open up ports on your network firewall and set up DNS to point to your external ip.

    There might be a way to do this with cloudfare that is more secure.

      Cloudflare tunnels does exactly this…

      Edited the post with a diagramm

        From the diagram you just want to put everything within a vpn so they are on the same network.

        You can choose whatever vpn solution you want but I like Tailscale since you don’t need to set up any inbound nat or firewall.

        From the diagram it looks like you want your outside clients to use vpn as well.

      Right will try to make you a diagram, but I dont think tailscale would be a good solution…
