bitbar VS tailscale

While no broken out per plug, APC UPS network management cards provide total power output data (current, voltage, frequency, power) via SNMP, which you can log using a wide variety of tools.

And even without external tools, historical power usage logs are available via the APC Web UI.

While I don't currently log anything externally, I use an xbar[1] script[2] to display UPS output current in my Mac menu bar.

5. Download and install xbar https://github.com/matryer/xbar

Maybe with https://xbarapp.com/ ?

Maybe with xhttps://xbarapp.com/bar? You can also take a look here.

Maybe you can use AnyBar https://github.com/tonsky/AnyBar/ or xbar https://xbarapp.com/

xbar (Free) xbar is free and open source it allows you to put anything in your macOS menu bar, although the learning cure is high, I would put this in development too..

Tailscale - Built on WireGuard. Easy to use. Control server is closed source. Client code available with a BSD3 license + separate patents file.

Tailscale

I'm using the GitHub version of tailscaled on one of my Macs as a background daemon launched at boot. To upgrade to the latest version, try the following:

Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard® protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Might be possible to do using a VPN as long as you can get broadcast/multicast packets forwarded.

Tailscale unfortunately doesn't support it...yet?

Tailscale - Make depaware output patch compatible

Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well.
