Right now I’ve been using Tailscale because it automatically adapts to my network conditions. If I’m at home, it’ll prioritize local network connection, but when I’m out and about, it’ll automatically beam a direct connection or use a relay.

One gripe I have about it is I can’t run it alongside my normal VPNs on my mobile devices. I have to choose between one or the other.

I have tried Cloudflare Tunnel before, but using it for streaming, like Jellyfin, is forbidden. There’s also the added latency and slowness to having to hop through multiple DCs to reach Cloudflare and back.

I stay away from anything not selfhosted. Any third party, no matter how good and friendly it seems now, will eventually screw you once they get big.

Besides, even if it doesn't, I don't want them to have access to my data.

You can use headscale with tailscale if you want to self host it. Headscale is a community made server implementation for tailscale

Well, it was until they hired the guy who made it. He's still doing it but, technically, it's being made by Tailscale themselves now ;)

This project is not associated with Tailscale Inc.

on their GitHub

It's not an official Tailscale product.
