Home Network Update

Home Network Update I spent the day changing how my home network works. Or rather, how I make services on my home network available when I'm on the go. I run two servers at home. My NAS, which uses Docker Compose to provide a bunch of useful tools, mostly for internal use, and a mini server that runs my Home Assistant setup. For the last few years, I exposed Home Assistant directly to the Internet using a port forward on my FritzBox router and a DuckDNS dynamic DNS setup. If I needed access to something else on my network, I could open a WireGuard VPN connection to my NAS – again using a port forward. Exposing my Home Assistant directly to the Internet isn't great, of course. And I also started using more services on my NAS that I wanted to access on the go. So today I streamlined a couple of things: I now use Tailscale like all the cool kids. However, I use it more like a traditional VPN by simply using its subnet routing feature to make my whole LAN available. For that, I don't rely…
