The main question is weather you want to share something like a Plex server with other people and force/convince them to essentially install a VPN to do so (which usually mean other VPNs are out of the game. You can't, for example, have Tailscale work alongside an adblock VPN in Android). To me thats a deal breaker and quite a burden to the people who want to access it. You are better off putting all those services behind a reverse proxy with a cert from let's encrypt.



All good points, thank you! I was considering Tailscale Funnel (which is like Cloudflare Tunnel) and doesn’t require Tailscale on the client side. https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel
