Tailscale and Mullvad

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

This is some really cool news! You can now use Tailscale and Mullvad simultaneously without any additional setup required.

When I tell people about programming or my work, they often say software development is too abstract for them. But there are moments when I think that about some software as well.

Tailscale SSH

Published on in 👨‍💻 Dev

I finally got around to using Tailscale SSH. I’ve been using Tailscale for over a year to access my servers via SSH (my VPS is even available via Tailscale only), but I haven’t used the new Tailscale SSH feature yet.

My public VPS is now only accessible via SSH from my tailnet. One more possible attack vector less.

In Alpine Linux I switched to the linux-lts kernel, installed Tailscale from the edge-community repository via repository pinning, removed the rule to allow SSH from the Hetzner cloud firewall and finally set the Tailscale ACLs to not allow access to my other Tailscale devices from the VPS.

I am using Nitter, an alternative interface for Twitter, just in case I want to read a thread on Twitter. Previously I hosted the instance directly on my VPS. Now, however, I host the Nitter instance at home, but make it available on the Internet through Tailscale, a little program I wrote called “ProxyExposer”, and Caddy. 🤓 I also briefly tried publishing a WordPress instance from home to the web this way. But I don’t have a use case for WordPress at the moment.

Sometimes I am a perfectionist. Having previously made my private diary blog available via a Tailscale sidecar container in my Tailnet, I have now integrated Tailscale directly into GoBlog. Both Tailscale and Tailscale’s Let’s Encrypt certificates can be configured directly in GoBlog. No sidecar container is needed anymore. A much simpler solution! (And Tailscale rocks!)

Tailscale excites me again and again! Now it is also possible to get TLS certificates for nodes. I immediately got to work and integrated this into GoBlog, so that the browsers no longer complain when I log into my diary – a http:// page, which is already encrypted through Tailscale…

Last year I was wondering what I could do with my Raspberry Pi 4 (with 4 GB of RAM) that I got for Christmas the year before. I think I have now found a use for it.

Private diary with GoBlog and Tailscale

Published on in 👨‍💻 Dev
Updated on

Yesterday I wrote about Tailscale. Really cool service! And I’m a little bit obsessed with it, too. Now that I have connected my devices to a network, I had the idea to make my GoBlog diary available only via Tailscale instead of a public domain.

First impressions: Tailscale

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Have you already heard of Tailscale? I read about it today in a blog article by Stanislas Lange and tried it out. And what can I say, it’s impressive!
