In this video, I share how Tailscale transformed the way I remotely access my #homelab and why I ditched traditional VPN for it. Tailscale replaces outdated VPN setups like IPsec for site-to-site connections and client VPN technologies like OpenVPN with an easy-to-use, fast, and secure solution that makes connecting sites and clients together a breeze. Whether I’m accessing my homelab remotely, replicating disaster recovery backups with friends, or troubleshooting family networks, Tailscale handles it all effortlessly. I’ll show you my setup, including real-world performance comparisons, and explain why Tailscale’s flexibility and zero-trust security make it perfect for homelabbers, self-hosters, and your business.
