I wanted to move away from Tailscale but found Headscale a bit too convoluted for what I actually needed.
Ended up with a simple WireGuard setup using two VPSes: one as a VPN hub, the other acting as a reverse proxy back into my home lab.
It lets me expose services publicly without any inbound port forwarding on my home connection.



I am a neophyte in homelabbing. What is Netbird doing exactly?
I read the github page and didn’t really understand what is the use case for that.
