Comment on Looking for Advice with networking between VPS, Homelab and Cloudflare

With Tailscale, you would typically cut out the VPS, the connection would be client <-> homelab. No intermediary required. You COULD of course do it how you describe with the subnet router and everything, but the point of tailscale is really to have end to end connectivity.

Yesnt. I know that I can run the apps I want on the homelab, have them expose their ip in the local network, connect to my tailnet whenever I need access and use the homelabs local address plus port to access it. But that implies needing to connect to my tailnet whenever I want to access my service. Which is not something I can easily tell my larger family to do if I wanted to provide them with movies or a photo backup solution. So I’m trying to find a method that doesn’t require a tailnet connection, which is why I was thinking of the VPS.
