I'm using tailscale to tunnel from an hetzner vm to my home, so that the vm can use my home connection for certain traffic. Traverses NAT and GNAT.
It just works: connect devices and they immediately show up in their portal. Most config is just clicking, but more advanced things can be configured as well. Definitely feels like a high quality product, not just something thrown together by a developer that learned a few network techniques.
- TZubiri 1mo ago>"that the vm can use my home connection for certain traffic. " Huh. Why are you doing this, is the datacenter IP being (rightfully) blocked by some service to avoid abuse? Is your usecase breaking some services ToS? Certainly adding more fire to the "never a GOOD reason to use this" thesis
- Dylan16807 1mo ago> Certainly So you make up reasons to be judgemental and then insist they're right? It's practical to block entire datacenters. It's not so "right" that working around it becomes "wrong". If whatever the server's doing can fit through a single home connection then it's probably fine. I'll give you a concrete use case: A few times a month I want to wget a file on imgur to my server. That's a valid action miles away from any kind of abuse, but the IP range is blocked so I use my desktop to do it. If I routed it over tailscale instead that would be equally valid.
