Could also use Cloudflare tunnels. That way:

1. your 1password gets a different entry each time for <service>.<yourdomain>.<tld>

2. you get https for free

3. Remote access without Tailscale.

4. Put Cloudflare Access in front of the tunnel, now you have a proper auth via Google or Github.

You can also use cloudflare to create a dns record for each local service (pointed to the local IP) and just mark it as not proxied, then use Wireguard or Tailscale on your router to get VPN access to your whole network. If you set up a reverse proxy like nginx proxy manager, you can easily issue a wildcard cert using DNS validation from your NAS using ACME (LetsEncrypt). This is what I do, and I set my phone to use Wireguard with automatic VPN activation when off my home WiFi network. Then you’re not limited by CF Tunnel’s rules like the upload limits or not being able to use Plex.

Tunnels go through Cloudflare infrastructure so are subject to bandwidth limits (100MB upload). Streaming Plex over a tunnel is against their ToS.

Yeesh, the last thing I want is remote access to my homelab.
