  • tailscale-control

    A Decky plugin to control Tailscale, while staying in Gaming mode.

    • Once installed, Tailscale is connected all the time. I did not notice any performance impacts, but if you're worried, you can install a decky plugin called Tailscale Control which will allow you to manually turn on Tailscale on Steam Deck only when you need it.

  • podsync

    Turn YouTube or Vimeo channels, users, or playlists into podcast feeds

    • Completely unrelated to Tailscale, another option is Cloudflare Tunnel. It will also traverse CGNAT and expose your Plex server to the public internet. The only limitation here is that you must have a subdomain. I have my own paid one, but I don't see why you couldn't use something like https://freedns.afraid.org/ to get a free subdomain. Cloudflare Tunnel is completely free, and it comes with free TLS too. I use it with podsync to watch YouTube using my podcasting app and make the feeds available to my friends as well (which would be more hassle if we used Tailscale).

  • headscale

    An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

    • There is an open source BSD 3-Clause License reimplementation of the control server called Headscale if you're worried, but installing and using that is probably beyond the capabilities of many casual Steam Deck users.

  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

    • One issue with Tailscale is that it conflicts with Stram Remote Play if you have it active on the Steam Host. I don't have any issues using Zero Tier. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/4320

  • chiaki4deck

    Fork of Chiaki (Open Source Playstation Remote Play) with Enhancements for Steam Deck and Documentation around how to use
