I switched from #zerotier to #tailscale . Was and still very Happy with #tailscale
Tries #netbird the last 6-8 month. I Like this Quantum resistent Thing with #rosenpass
But i have Problems with the connection between #Linux Mint and Linux from #HomeAssistant
IT still Shows IT IS connected but the other devices is not reachable.
And #netbird uses a lot of bandwith, even with only one devices running, so no connection to another devices, it uses about 5Gb in 24h.

So, presently, i stay with #tailscale , because it just works for me as an advanced beginner in network stuff.

@bastian_S Freut mich wenn ich helfen konnte :)
Ich würde auf den VPS dann noch #tailscale oder #netbird drauf werfen (pfSense hat ja nen TS Paket) dann hat man noch einen schönen Fallback und kann den VPS von extern zu machen und Management nur via Tailnet/NetbirdNetz machen, damit kein ssh extern exponiert. Plus auf Mobiles kann man dann den VPS und die Sense alternativ als externe IP nutzen wenn benötigt (exit node). Das + magicDNS auf den eigenen PiHole o.ä. -> Unterwegs DNS Filter auf Handy

As I was asked, why I use #tailscale in my homelab instead of e.g. #netbird it's simple:

a) I check out multiple things in the lab and the other solutions I currently had time to check like netbird lack functionality I'm currently needing. E.g. I work quite a with BSDs and netbird isn't yet in the official packages. So as soon as it gets there, I'll check further :)
b) tailscale was first - at least in my setup & awareness - available on all my platforms and added useful features.

So: YMMV :)

This is the product I have been dreaming of for years. I cannot believed I missed that someone made it. A WireGuard VPN with SSO that integrates host health checks and allows for admin approval for access. Huge fan, been playing around with it for a day and completely love it. github.com/netbirdio/netbird

Am not convinced about such a setup with an orchestration server. The OpenVPN setup seems more straight forward to me (for my scenario).

I would need to replace the ASUS routers with other hardware (mini-pc or something) with Linux/OpenVPN, but other than that, it all works fine.

The only thing that would be better with Tailscale/Netbird, is that no port-forwarding is needed anymore.

I only have the requirement to connect to the remote networks, the remote networks must not be able to connect to mine.

Would appreciate your input/thoughts/experience. 🙏

#VPN#Selfhosting#Homelab

Have finally taken some time to read up on current VPN options in homelabs, as my involved hardware is no longer supported.

I have quite a few connections from my network to remote networks at family/friends for IT support. I connect from my pfSense via OpenVPN to OpenVPN server running on ASUS routers, flashed with Merlin firmware. The models are no longer supported, so am looking for alternatives.

Some of these ASUS routers function as a router plus the OpenVPN server, some routers just serve as an OpenVPN server.

Have checked Tailscale (with Headscale as I do not want to rely on 3rd parties)) and Netbird (apparently possible to selfhost).

In both setups every single device need to be configured separately and not all devices have native clients. Tailscale seems to have an option for "exit nodes" so the network where the device is in, is also reachable.

Building a local cloud solution for our local parent association.

Using a Lenovo ThinkCentre Micro to host YunoHost and on top of that hosting Nextcloud and Grav CMS. For now at least. Can't tell you how smooth this has been.

Upgrading now to use HAProxy to be the front end on a public cloud provider, Swedish of course, and use Netbird, thus wireguard, to create tunnels between the proxy and the local server.

Whish me luck.
