Figured I'd give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.
You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.
I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.
Edit: Note that I choose to self host NetBird, and haven't really used the service they provide all that much.
Didn't downvote you, and I get what you are saying, but in another way I don't. What makes every other country safer? Nothing that would happen here in the USA couldn't happen or is happening in any other country. Oh, and this has nothing to do with people trash talking the US. I do it every day I'm awake. However, for those who go with this line of thought, I honestly want to know what you think Tailscale is going to do with your encrypted traffic? Because the day the world finds out that America has cracked strong ciphers, is the day you are going to see a lot of panic and movement on this planet. And I would certainly love to make that announcement. It'll be my going out 15 minutes of fame.
A lot of people are boycotting as many things from the U.S. as they can because of the warmongering paedophile, and his cadre of paedo crooks.
It's not exactly exciting to buy into products when you have that stinky orange mess breathing down your neck about how he's going to invade your continent and annex countries.
I am one of them. I am from Italy and simply do not want to support any US-based company any more, independently from their own stance on anything.
Aye, same. I'm Swedish. Not thrilled about the U.S. threatening to invade Greenland, or kidnapping heads of state. Denmark has been sucking up to the U.S. a lot through the years which goes to show that you can't trust the U.S., ever.
He does like to spread fear and doubt. That's one of his specialties. Yeah, countries enshitify too. LOL I can understand the sentiment you just expressed rather than the standard 'Tailscale metadata'. But if you want to take care of stinky orange man, you and your country will have to stand up to him. I'm doing the best I can from this end. LOL
Absolutely necessary to do more than voting with your wallet. Fascism is on the rise everywhere and we as societies need to actively engage with it and provide working alternative structures to prevent people to be drawn towards it.
You are comparing something that could happen, to something that is already happening, though. Of course people will take stance.
