I updated my OpenVPN based network to use Tailscale instead in 2023 and it is game changing. I have used Tailscale ever since. I simply did not update my blog and network diagram.
With Tailscale, all my machines appear seamlessly on a single control pane and I can reach any of them from any device.
Zone Z
Z has a single fiber connection via Swisscom to internet.
Inventory
- DeepThread is an AMD Threadripper 1920x running Windows 10.
- Minis4 is the Beelink MiniS12 N95s running Ubuntu Server 24.10.
- NAS is an an older QNAP TS-269L
Zone N
N has two connections, a Starlink (v1 round) with only the powerbrick router and Sosh as a backup DSL provider (with an ADSL Router) both connected to a Ubiquity UDM-PRO-SE in Failover mode.
Inventory
- Minis1 is the Beelink MiniS12 N95s running Windows 11, enjoying it VESA mounted behind a screen in the office currently. I originally thought I would also put Ubuntu, but a windows machine is useful.
- Minis2 and Minis3 are the Beelink MiniS12 N95s running Ubuntu Server 24.10. Currently rackmounted with the UDM-PRO.
VPN
On the UDM-PRO, a VPN is configured with Ubiquity and I can use the iOS application WifiMan to access the network. It's really a backup of a backup solution to have Wifiman.
On Minis2 and minis4, a cloudflared docker is running, reaching up to Cloudflare and providing an Zero trust tunnel to expose several dockerized websites hosted on it.
I made a Suno song on how awesome it is.
