+2. I did exactly what's in this article since before Tailscale existed. Then there was this Tailscale thing, but I never moved over because why bother? I've already got my setup. I was creating keys and schlepping them to all the devices in my family. I was fixing broken tunnels on vacation, trying to copy keys from my phone because that was the only device that could connect at the moment. I was manually setting packet MTU sizes because my home network uses PPPOE (yes, those are all things I know now that I wish I didn't). I was disabling the Wifi in my local supermarket because they block UDP and that broke my access.
Then I signed up for Tailscale on a whim, installed it on my phone and my Home Assistant box and... that was it. After like 15 minutes of sign up and installation I could access my home network. MTU didn't matter. In the supermarket it uses TCP over a DERP server that's 5ms away. Keys are automatically setup. After years of people blabbing on about how great Tailscale is, I finally get it.
