Rethinking Remote Access in a Remote First World
summary
Shows replacing legacy VPNs and IP whitelists with a WireGuard-based overlay using Tailscale; demo connects to a Vultr server that has only the home IP allowed in firewall yet becomes reachable over the tailnet without adding SSH keys or opening ports. Demonstrates WireGuard under the hood, using a CLI/UI, serving a site via funnel with a Let's Encrypt cert, and routing traffic through an exit node for full-tunnel VPN. Claims OSS frontend, free for home labs, and works in the demo.
