Replacing Tailscale with a 2-VPS WireGuard setup (No port forwarding) (the.unknown-universe.co.uk)

I wanted to move away from Tailscale but found Headscale a bit too convoluted for what I actually needed.

Ended up with a simple WireGuard setup using two VPSes: one as a VPN hub, the other acting as a reverse proxy back into my home lab.

It lets me expose services publicly without any inbound port forwarding on my home connection.

What did you not like about Headscale? I started using it recently and it seems fine so far. Works identically to Tailscale.

It's not that I didn't like it, I just wanted to back to basics! A simple config file on each machine, job done
