Tailscale requires a 3rd party network login. If Google freezes your account you get locked out of your private network also.

Tailscale is a 3rd party platform that can also disappear, locking you out of your password manager.

Maybe use nebula instead. This reduces your 3rd party dependencies.

+1 for Nebula, I use this exact setup. Vaultwarden behind Nebula

99% of my usage is still local, but being able to get to this on the outside does occasionally come in handy

These are important notes, but I think the key part is that if you’re self-hosted, you presumably have access to the machine without Tailscale aswell, though it may be less convenient. So these aren’t as big of a deal as if, for example, you lost your Google account and you couldn’t access your LastPass login.
Wireguard configured by pivpn is what I use.
