Man, a personal hosted VPN for all my junk is my dream. Can't wait to get something selfhosted, tail-scail-like setup. Something i can get into from anywhere and work from anything. I'm tempted to order a bluetooth keyboard like this post just to have it in the car and be able to work from my iPad/iPhone in a pinch (assuming internet).

For someone wanting an easy, at home VPN for setups just like in the blog - is anything on the market competitive with Tailscale's UX? Ideally there would be no proxy, no VPN hosted on DigitalOcean that i fear being a weak point.. Instead, i'd like:

1. A redirect hosted on DigitalOcean, acting as a self hosted DynIP. No security issue here i'd think?

2. After hitting my real IP, connect to a VPN on a predetermined port.

3. Get access to bells and whistles now on the priveledged network. Bonus points if i could assign DNS entries like `ssh [e-mail]` or `http(s?)://videostreaming.fake`

Tailscale makes me a bit nervous, as cool as they are i'd prefer entirely self hosted. Though i may give them a try just to experience this UX.

For the last decade or so I have been running cheap Asus routers on my home network. They support dyndns and OpenVPN out of the box. I assume that other manufacturers offer the same thing.

I haven't poked around in the guts of their vpn setup. But it's generally password protected and I would assume in the clear. So I replace accounts frequently and only leave it running if I am out of town and have some project I may need access to.

Basically you vpn to yourname.dyndnsprovider.com and you are done.

The rest is DNS Setup which.is sort of up to you but you can easily configure to something like machinename.home.mydomain.net

Microtik routers can also run a VPN just fine. :)
