tailscale's taildrop is an good alternative and maybe more secure(?)

[refulgentis]

I don't think it's a good alternative.

Via https://tailscale.com/kb/1106/taildrop:

- "Since Taildrop is an alpha feature, you’ll need to opt your network in to the test to use it."

- "Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2".

- "Currently that means you need to manually install Tailscale on your Synology NAS."

Taking Occam's Razor to it:

- Buy Enterprise™ hardware to use alpha software.

- "more secure" has a prefix of "maybe" and a suffix of "(?)" in the comment recommending it

I'm ruling it out altogether.

You misunderstand this documentation. It is available on other platforms besides Synology; it's just also available on Synology which is a good thing.

You don't need any enterprise hardware to use taildrop.

> - "Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2".

Only apply if you're installing it ON Synology hardware, otherwise it is matter of installing the tailscale client and opting your network in.
