Right now I’ve been using Tailscale because it automatically adapts to my network conditions. If I’m at home, it’ll prioritize local network connection, but when I’m out and about, it’ll automatically beam a direct connection or use a relay.
One gripe I have about it is I can’t run it alongside my normal VPNs on my mobile devices. I have to choose between one or the other.
I have tried Cloudflare Tunnel before, but using it for streaming, like Jellyfin, is forbidden. There’s also the added latency and slowness to having to hop through multiple DCs to reach Cloudflare and back.
I use duckdns and wireguard and love it. Sometimes I have to reconnect to VPN (double tap notification button), but its enabled all the time otherwise. I cant run it alongside payed VPN, but maybe selfhosted wireguard can be run behind payed VPN service.
Only downside for me is lack of ssl certs. Im using letsencrypt and have to accept the risk quite often hehe. Tried to install cert on android, but wasnt successful. Thinking to buy domain or whatever is needed to remove that annoying warning. Still noob, so dont know whats best for me, but wireguard is serving me fine
You can use DNS-01 with duckdns to get certificates! Here are the docs on how to set that up with traefik.
About the wireguard but no other VPN - that’s a phone problem, as it (at least android) only allows one VPN type connection at once. But one could set it up in a way that uses wireguard on the phone to connect to your home network and than use a proxy running there that does the other VPN connection. Also routing all mobile traffic using wireguard on a foreign WiFi network (or something) through your home network is basically the same as using a commercial VPN, if the goal is that the ‘owner’ of the foreign WiFi does not see your traffic.
Thanks a lot mate, It sounds promising. Well I got certs with duckdns in npm somehow, but they are making problems on android. Im kinda lost so maybe I did something wrong. Ill deffo check DNS-01 and that link and do another attempt.
Im not op, but using both VPNs on phone at the same time is usefull just to avoid switching between them when you want privacy or you want to access home services (I guess). I could benefit from that as well, but have higher priorities right now
