Hi All, I know it was asked multiple times but I’m a noob.

What is the best way to access my server from external network? I know I can open a port on router (not recommended), Tailscales, Wireguard or Direct VPN. I will access from android phone and maybe from other devices.

What I want to try to access (mainly docker on NAS)

  • bitwarden
  • calibre
  • setup home assistant
  • possibly RSS server
  • nextcloud
  • plex server (already remote access)
  • maybe docker apps too

Thanks

    I use tailscale for this with no issues. It traverses my CGnat without significant speed reduction. Just install tailscale on the hosts with the services on them and use magic dns or install tailscale on a vm/container and have it advertise your home subnet as a subnet router.

      thanks. So lets say I want to open Bitwarden app on android, and the vault is on NAS, I need to open the tailscale app first on that mobile? Sorry if this is a silly question.
