So basically, I will be away from home for several weeks. Unfortunately, this became the perfect time for our home router to start acting out and factory resetting itself. We are awaiting a new router for replacement, but the time is tight.
My stuff is ethernetted in, so that connectivity isn’t an issue - the issue is that I couldn’t actually connect to the router to restore services even if it had internet by fixing all the settings including port forwarding.
What I would like would be the ability to have a VPN perhaps connected to my homelab, so I can hop on the router and restore the settings if this issue happens while I’m away. Any ideas?
In addition to Netbird, I also suggest Pangolin, https://pangolin.net/ it’s quite efficient at what it does.
I’m keep thinking at some point tailscale is going to incorporate a feature similar to pangolin. I mean pangolin is just a proxy server tied to wireguard ( or newt). You can also do very similar things with cloudflare.
True, but the point is you don’t need cloudflare or tailscale (i know headscale exists), so end to end you can likely trust it.
I much prefer things self-hosted. I was just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if tailscale offers something similar to pangolin.
Ahh, thank you for clarifying. Sorry :/
