headscale VS algo

headscale - Open source implementation of Tailscale control server. Can be used with Tailscale's official open source client. Written in Go.

Headscale

You can always use headscale. https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

One more thing, you can host Tailscale Control Server yourself if you want, which is a plus.

https://github.com/juanfont/headscale not to mention but Tailscale has a very good culture, I’m sure they would give notice if they pull the rug. There are also many alternatives such as Zerotier and more are showing up every day and open source options.

How about self-hosted Tailscale, known as Headscale

Would be nice if https://github.com/juanfont/headscale can be managed by the Tailscale operator.

You can run your own "head scale" control server and use their clients with it: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

Requires a lot more setup, but it is an option. I've been self-hosting headscale for some time and it is quite stable.

There's an alternative to tailscale service called headscale https://github.com/juanfont/headscale (CLI only server compatible with official tailscale clients)

Since we're already presuming you have a functional PFSense box with Wireguard installed and a VPS stood up, now you need to get Algo installed on the VPS. I'm not going to write this part out in detail, but basically you need to follow the procedures here to get Algo installed. However, *before* running ./algo you probably want to edit some of the config.cfg settings. I disabled IPSec (which saves a bunch of package installs and prevents a bunch of failures I saw on some of my VPSs), set my reduce_mtu setting to 80 just to prevent any MTU issues down the line, turned off DNS encryption, and renamed my users to the servers in question (for example: pfsense, vps_server, etc)

Check out the command line args for Auto1111, it talks about a gradio setup that can be accessed remotely. There's a time limit on gradio links though, I think. You could also set up a vpn that will allow you to access your PC remotely, then run A1111 with the --listen command and access it that way. I've done this with an Algo VPN on Azure and a Wireguard client for Windows for Android, but any VPN that lets you access your PC remotely would work.

One way you could try to get around is building your own VPN service, like this: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/README.md

Things I have tried so far: Clear network cache and reset adapters - IDK it fix aprevious problem I had https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/discussions/14504

(I can simply install Algo and get the Wireguard tunnel working, easy peasy... But from there, I can never get Plex port 32400 open... so I'm just trying from scratch now...)

Maybe try running algo vpn (following the road-warrior setup) in a VM instead? It has very light requirements. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/deploy-to-ubuntu.md
