If you’re not familiar with Tailscale it’s a very user-friendly “overlay network” that lets you securely connect all your devices no matter where they are over the internet.

No need to forward ports on your router to access your home network anymore. And no need to set up VPNs manually either. Just install Tailscale on all your devices and log in with Gmail or other providers.

Tailscale has official apps for Windows, Mac Android and iOS.

Thanks to a project called Trayscale we now have a GUI app for managing Tailscale on GNU/Linux as well.

You can easily install it using a flatpak.

    FWIW OpenVPN can use DNS names so you can use DDNS.

    CGNAT says no.

        You will have to at some point; whether you want to or not. CGNAT is the future of IPv4.

            It’s dead already. Problem is that in the year of the lord 2023 ipv6 still isn’t really a thing yet, so IPv4 remains on life support.

            If you’re already using IPv6 for everything, you don’t need to care about CGNAT in IPv4. I highly doubt that’s the case however.
