I run a Nextcloud instance on my home server and want secure remote access without exposing ports. I came across Twingate, which looks like a VPN alternative.
Has anyone used it for personal setups? Is it overkill compared to something simpler like Tailscale? I’d like to know how you use it, or what else you use.


I used it for a while, and it’s a decent solution. Similar to Tailscale’s subnet router, but it always uses a relay and doesn’t do all the UDP black magic. I think it uses TCP to create the tunnel, which might introduce some network latency compared to Tailscale or bare Wireguard.
@rtxn did you check out the new relay-feature in tailscale yet? it’s fab!! @Jokulhlaups
I don’t know which feature you mean, can you link the documentation?
@rtxn there isn’t one yet. but check in this weeks events…tested the relay feature and it’s really solving a bunch of issues. https://tailscale.com/events-webinars
