I also thought that Tailscale would probably incur some type of charges after using it that much, though Im not super familiar with their free tier policies and how sustainable they are in the long-term.
- NavinF 2y agoThey're not proxying your data. That's why there are no usage limits
- allset_ 2y agoThey do proxy your traffic if it can't set up direct connections, and it's still free. https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers https://tailscale.com/kb/1232/derp-servers
- Sanzig 2y agoTailscale sets up point-to-point WireGuard VPNs and only proxies through their relay servers when they can't establish a direct connection. In my experience that's pretty rare, Tailscale tries a whole bunch of NAT traversal tricks before falling back to relay mode. Their free tier is pretty generous because it's basically a way for Tailscale to get homelabbers hooked on the product so they'll recommend a corporate plan at work. They even state as much: https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan The Pi 3 was essentially free to me because I already had it on a shelf. When I duplicate this setup at some other relatives' homes, I'm planning on using an Orange Pi Zero 3 ($30 CAD, quad core A53, gig of RAM, gigabit Ethernet).
