I have been using Tailscale VPN with my servers for about 6 months now and I would recommend it to anyone.

I'm running it on both of my Proxmox machines, my laptop, a raspberry pi, and my Android phone. It makes it super easy and secure to access my local services while away from my house.

Very simple set up, minimal initial configuration, and versatile.

There are apps for Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

Is anyone else currently using Tailscale? I'd like to hear what you all think.

This looks like a paid business vpn.. are you even hosting it? I don't get it

If you want to self host, you can run the API server yourself with headscale.

I didn't actually know this. Now I won't get anything done on my honey-do list this weekend...

The free license is so generous that a home user really should have no reason to ever pay for it.

are you even hosting it

No but as andrew mentions below you CAN self host it.

It's free for personal use, although they offer paid versions for enterprise. It's built using Wireguard, so there is a coordination server that's accessed using the web app, but all the traffic is encrypted from client to client.
