What do you guys use / recommend to set up your own VPN to access your LAN services remotely?
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

People seem to like and recommend Tailscale. I have not gotten to setting it up. My setup involves reverse proxy with treafik and my services in docker. Any suggestions on how what I need to do would be welcome.
This is the exact script I use to install tailscale on my VPN server
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
tailscale up --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.0.0/24,192.168.2.0/28,192.168.5.0/24,192.168.10.0/24
Thank you for message, i appreciate the effort.
Where I struggle is the part where i need to expose my subnet within Tailscale. I don’t have any machineip:port delegated to the services anymore.
I got a domain name through CF, and have traefik generate unique url links as *service.mydomain.com that routes it to the specific service running in docker on my localmachine. Calling that service url only works within the local network.
In my docker compose set up, I removed all the ports as I dont access the services via ip:port. I hope this makes sense to you.
So it seems I need to configure Tailscale in such a way I can tunnel to my home network and then make the service.mydomain.com call. And that is where it got too complicated for me right now.
I’ve been using it for maybe a year now and it’s been rock solid. Highly recommended.
I’ve never had issues with my plain old OpenVPN setup
Was running wireguard and am now in the process of changing over to Tailscale (Headscale).
It uses wireguard for the actual connections but manages all the wireguard configs for you.
Why have you decided to switch?
Getting the configs to work with my personal devices was already a little finicky but doing that for nontechnical family members was starting to be a bit too much work for me.
I’m hoping that Headscale will cut that down to pointing their app at the server and having them enter their username and password.
I installed OpenWrt on my home router and set up wireguard on it. Here’s a video guide on how to do it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo2AsW4BMOo
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/watch?v=Bo2AsW4BMOo
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
i have pivpn (wireguard+pihole) running on a pi zero and it is rock solid
Check out Slack Nebula.I personally like it very much and used it to build a software-defined WAN to support my family’s needs. I use a point to point WireGuard tunnel between my VPS and my home network to support self-hosted instances of Mastodon and Lemmy.
I use this too. It is excellent
Tailscale all the way.
PiVPN. single line install script. Couldn’t be easier. Now if you have a shitty ISP like yours truly that can prevent you from being able to.
Check netmaker for wireguard vpn if you want a ui, but its straightforward to set it up manually.
I use this one-liner to set up an IPsec VPN server:
wget get.vpnsetup.net -O vpn.sh && sudo sh vpn.sh
Security 101: Never blindly run shell scripts from a random comment on the internet.
It’s also piped to sudo so that’s super cool too

Wireguard (if you can open udp ports)

That’s what I’m using, though I’ve used wg-easy, which made the setup, well, easy.

Yup, WG easy works pretty well
