I replaced Tailscale with a different kind of tool, and it works much better

One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about Tailscale is that after setting it up, I never have to think about it again. But its convenience masked the fact that to reach a single dashboard, each time I connected, I was doing so from an entire private network. The whole time, I was overbuilding my setup. Cloudflared fixed that problem while requiring only a fraction of the resources Tailscale needed for a connection. It’s become the more efficient tool I turn to for my small setup.
