alt Hacker News> So this is the 4th+ article I've seen on using a VPN to vibe code on your phone.
and all of them mentions Tailscale. I would not be surprised if we hear in a few days it got next big fund and all of this is just a preparation for it

I did this on my own without reading any of these articles - I already had a terminal program on my Android phone and was already using Tailscale for shared projects in Ghidra so... Maybe it's just a path of least resistance.

Right. For a simple setup I think using plain boring Wireguard is the better option. Boring is good.

Tailscale has been a HM darling for a long time, this isn’t very surprising!
a fully open source alternative would be netbird, it's based on wireguard as well, has 0 closed components but lacks some features (like IPv6 or internal CA). https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird
