Comment on Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network
iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 days agoWould this method allow other people to connect to one of the services? Let’s say, for sake of example, it’s a blog that I want people to be able to access, but I also want to access from within my own network at the same FQDN that strangers on the internet do.

If you want to share something with just some people, they can create a Tailscale account and you can share it with them that way.
For public access, accessing it using a domain that uses your public IP should work. Most routers let you do that (“hairpin NAT”). Although to be honest, most of my public facing things are on a VPS rather than on my home server. More reliable and a higher quality internet connection for a fairly cheap price per month.

Outsiders accessing all the services via tailscale is not an acceptable solution for me. Let’s say for sake of my goal that one service is a blog that I want anyone to be able to reach.
