  • Exposing services over the public internet is not without risks, you might consider getting more knowledge before doing it

    Every service you expose should require authentication and may need to handle bots

    To gain knowledge about reverse proxies and dns without much risk exposure, you could start by setting up your custom domain name on your private tailscale network, here is an example of how you could do it

    Now if you really want to expose services on the internet because you have devices that you don’t want to connect to your tailscale network, you could use tailscale funnel, but only with your ts.net custom subdomain that they provide you, not with your own domain

    There is an open issue to support custom domains https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/11563

    I’m waiting for this to get resolved, in the meantime I have a vps with a reverse proxy connected to a tailscale container, that serves my services from my home network, so that I dont need a static IP or open a port in my home router
