So I’m just being introduced to the concept of using a VPN or something like Tailscale to access one’s services, instead of opening the services directly to the web, but I’m thinking for streaming purposes or just accessing your services on the run, isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time? Or do you keep the VPN running on your phone for example? What if you use a VPN provider for privacy purposes, wouldn’t one need to then switch VPN connection?

    This sounds very interesting. I always wondered if I could use a paid VPN together with Tailscale or Netbird. But I’m not sure I understood how you set this up. And what are Android private spaces?

      I have gluetun+socks5 containea running, then in an app, I put in localip:port into a proxy field. Then that app will use that connection for internet. Browsers on desktop also support proxies. So if you want a specific browser to always use the VPN, this is a very simple way to do that.
