Man, a personal hosted VPN for all my junk is my dream. Can't wait to get something selfhosted, tail-scail-like setup. Something i can get into from anywhere and work from anything. I'm tempted to order a bluetooth keyboard like this post just to have it in the car and be able to work from my iPad/iPhone in a pinch (assuming internet).

For someone wanting an easy, at home VPN for setups just like in the blog - is anything on the market competitive with Tailscale's UX? Ideally there would be no proxy, no VPN hosted on DigitalOcean that i fear being a weak point.. Instead, i'd like:

1. A redirect hosted on DigitalOcean, acting as a self hosted DynIP. No security issue here i'd think?

2. After hitting my real IP, connect to a VPN on a predetermined port.

3. Get access to bells and whistles now on the priveledged network. Bonus points if i could assign DNS entries like `ssh [email protected]` or `http(s?)://videostreaming.fake`

Tailscale makes me a bit nervous, as cool as they are i'd prefer entirely self hosted. Though i may give them a try just to experience this UX.
