Do you use cloudfare tunnel or a vpn like tailscale or wireguard ? Why would you choose of these over the other? (alien.top)

I just use the UDM-SE App (Teleport). I can connect on demand and get to all of my services, get adblocking while I'm out and about. Teleport on ubiquiti is just wireguard renamed.

I don't need to expose any services from my home network, because I'm the only one using them. If It wasn't just me, I'd just have them download the wifiman app, send them a teleport link and boom...they're in on the local network. Exposing "services" for a convenience factor is just too much of a security risk for myself.

I host all of my websites on github (free) and leverage vercel for CI/CD pipelines (again, free). Domains are the only thing public and that I pay for. (local dns reasons for lets encrypt certs) and for my public websites not associated with my home infrastructure.
