Replacing Tailscale with WireGuard
the.unknown-universe.co.uk
I replaced Tailscale with a self-hosted WireGuard setup using two VPSes to securely expose home lab services without port forwarding or SaaS.

I wanted to move away from Tailscale but found Headscale a bit too convoluted for what I actually needed.

Ended up with a simple WireGuard setup using two VPSes: one as a VPN hub, the other acting as a reverse proxy back into my home lab.

It lets me expose services publicly without any inbound port forwarding on my home connection.

    None of this is especially complicated

    It is for an absolute noob like me… i need vacation so i can start learning all this networking jargon.

    Thank you for sharing though!
