Well, with Tailscale you have your own private network, so anything you run anywhere you can access on any device. You could DIY it a bit more using something like WireGuard directly (Tailscale uses WireGuard under the hood), but Tailscale makes it much easier, particularly with managing adding new devices, using DNS, etc. I don't see much downside to sticking with Tailscale indefinitely, what are your reasons?

Exactly why I asked for pointers to tutorials: I have only the most superficial, decontextualized comprehension of words like WireGuard, tunnel, (virtual) private network, etc. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. > I don't see much downside to sticking with Tailscale indefinitely, what are your reasons? Tailscale and Bitwarden both fall into the same category: they seem like good actors, they have generous free tiers, and if I come to rely on them at scales that aren't free I would be happy to pay. However, I want to understand them enough to be able to know that I could host them myself if god forbid they go out of business, are subject to attack, or whatever. As I've succeeded at on the desktop, the hobbyist gratification is both the fun of tinkering mixed with the confidence that if it need it I have packed my own parachute.
