Which route did you go for your homeland, a tunnel to your services or setting up tail scale/wireguard and access them on your trailer?

Both.

I have a free vps providing me a public IPv4 address, connected to my opnsense router via tailscale, and use a simple port forward from the VPs to the router's tailscale IP.

I have certain port/connections coming in either via the tailscale IP or my external IPv6 address all forwarded to my internal Caddy reverse proxy which itself is only running IPv4.

And I use cloudflare for my dynamic DNS resolution of my domain. A records are my public VPS IPv4 and AAAA are my own public IPv6 addresses respectively.

If/when I change to a service provider that doesn't use CGnat for IPv4, I can stop doing the forwarding from my VPS.

That's so we can stream music/video without needing to use the VPN.

But, I also run tailscale on my phone, so I can do admin stuff remotely from it, albeit painfully, on this small screen when things break. 🤣
