Remote connections to GCE VM machines
You can use it to ssh to instances that don't have external IP Addresses. You can also use it to connect to remote destkop for windows vm's.
- Simplest way to place existing public GCE VMs behind IAP and only allow our internal users?

Zero-Trust RDP and SSH Access to VMs on Google Cloud
This sounds like a deal breaker for some use cases: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Trou... "Because of the way IAP Desktop tunnels RDP connections, it always uses NTLM for authentication and can't use Kerberos." There may be environments that lose the security benefits of Kerberos over NTLMv2 (e.g., mutual authentication) because they've been forced into a new compliance mandate that dictates adoption of Zero Trust in all available contexts.
- GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop: IAP Desktop is a Windows application that provides zero-trust Remote Desktop and SSH access to Linux and Windows VMs on Google Cloud.

Is it possible to use IAP Desktop to interact with Ubuntu desktop compute engine VM?
Just googled it and found this… so maybe I was wrong (not about RDP but wrong that the tool doesn’t support it)? https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Connecting-to-linux-instances

List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
Netmaker - Layer 3 peer-to-peer overlay network and private DNS. Similar to Tailscale, but with a self-hosted server/admin UI. Runs kernel WireGuard so very fast. Not FOSS, but the source code is available. Written in Go.

Connecting several hundreds IoT (raspberry pi's) devices with a VPN
My plan is to set up an EC2 instance and host a VPN, considering options like Netmaker, OpenVPN, or Tailscale. The goal is to connect these devices to the VPN, enabling SSH access from any connected node. This method seems cost-effective(Considering I want to use 100s of devices and potentially 1000s) and straightforward, requiring a simple setup with a sudo apt command on the Raspberry Pi.

Remote access to a NAS from another location?
I'm wondering if there are any alternative approaches to achieve this. Is something like Netmaker or Tailscale feasible enough? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

SD-WAN and SASE Solutions
While we've encountered some challenges and worked with vendors like Cisco to find solutions, I'm curious about recommendations for SD-WAN providers that are well-suited for SASE users. This includes not only Zscaler but also other options like Netmaker, Palo Alto, Cloudflare, Cisco, and Forcepoint.

Only allowing my home network to access all my EC2 Instances?
Now, my main question is how I can link my DDNS host endpoint with my EC2 instances, allowing only my home network to access them. I've come across a variety of suggestions, such as Netmaker, OpenVPN, Tailscale etc. but I'm curious to hear your opinions on these solutions.
