  Sorry about the slow reply. Don’t I need to be running Tailscale on the remote device then though? Ideally I want to be able to put a link into whichever app / program and be able to share that link with my wife and kid

    Well yes but that’s a one-time setup.

      I’m a bit dubious about running Tailscale on the family’s devices, as they’re not particularly techy, and will forget to launch it if it isn’t running for whatever reason, and then I get the blame.

      Wouldn’t all traffic go through it when it’s running too, or can you select which apps now? They’d mostly be using Android devices.

        It’s selective. You just provide the internal address or the Tailscale host name. All other traffic runs outside of the vpn tunnel.

        Honestly it takes 10 mins to set up you should try it out.
