I stumbled across TailScale while I asked ClaudeAI regarding switching off of VPN: I wasnt aware of the tool. Im "shocked" how perfect it functions! It worked

  > Actually one of the tools that you could use to admin your mum & dad computer I do exactly this! I keep Tailscale running my family's shared iMac, making it easy for me to remotely connect to it and screen share if necessary to help. I went a more complicated route[0] and installed Tailscale as a system background daemon that runs as root and starts up before the first user login. Which also means no GUI interface, so more protected from user error.

(the standalone variant is also entirely opensource, unlike their macOS GUI app)

    > installed Tailscale as a system background daemon On Windows Server this was done somehow automaticly the last time I installed it: So access is possible after the machine is booted That was the beauty that caught me: It just worked out of the box, not any SSL certificate stuff signing issues etc. And the funny thing: I really didnt know it existed before the AI told me about it :-))
