I’m wondering if I’m starting to outgrow Tailscale… my wife keeps having networking issues on Android due to Tailscale, the Nvidia Shield kills the Tailscale app randomly, and my parents’ TV doesn’t have a Tailscale app…

I feel like the time is approaching to publicly expose some of my services to the internet…

Any other tips?

    Exposing services to the internet is a whole other game. Try wireguard first, i never had issues and use it mostly from my tablet.

      I am kinda interested in WireGuard, but how does it work with multiple non-PC devices on different networks? Tailscale runs seamlessly on my Arch laptop, but Android, TVs, and streaming sticks have hiccups from time to time.

      I have services that I want to share with my non-techie family. If a service stops working, they suck at debugging and fixing the issue on their own.

        Tailscale is WireGuard under the hood, if you didn’t know. It’s an overlay network that uses WireGuard to make the actual connections, and has some very clever “stuff” to get the clients actually to connect, even if behind firewalls without needing port forwarding.

        Using WireGuard directly basically just changes the app you use, which may or may not help with your issues. But the connecting technology is the exact same.
