I've read a lot of recommendations for tailscale and am on my way to try it out myself. Do you use Tailscale in the "normal" way or do you host your own Headscale server (as I'm planning to do)? Any pros and cons?

I'm using it for work.

At first it was just me, I needed a remote access and I was not a big fan of using the chrome remote desktop that was the "solution" by their IT technician.

So I've setup tailscale and used it to access the shared folders and Remote Desktop.

After that, with my boss approval, I've set it up for several others person in the company and external consultant. Honestly it's great, it just work, it's secure and it is so easy to set up. With just few WhatsApp messages I can give instructions to have the remote desktop running, even to people not especially comfortable with computers.
