Out of curiosity, why? I use TS for all my homelab bits (including my HA instance), but connect to TS before opening the HA app. Is it just a case of making it easier/ possible to connect if you’re on another VPN? Are you not concerned with having something from your local network open to the internet?
After a decade with KeePass, I’ve finally moved to Vaultwarden. I’ll admit, self-hosting such a critical service still feels a bit scary, but the seamless syncing across all my devices is a huge upgrade. To balance the risk, I keep it tucked safely behind Tailscale for that extra peace of mind.
Do you have anything that’ll trigger a notification if there’s suspicious traffic on your local network? I may be overly paranoid about exposing things on my local network to the internet.
Besides the use cases listed, we see this as an opportunity for homelabers and organizations to add authentication with access control to already exposed services.
