A front-end that makes me not tear my hair out and documentation that's fantastic. WireGuard may be what's under Tailscale, but I don't want to fuck with keys and config files to get clients online.

For me, I have a NAS that's running Tailscale just inside my edge at home that can be an exit node as well as provides full subnet router access for my home "servers" subnet so I can get to anything from any device that I authorize a Tailscale client for as if I'm on my home LAN... anywhere.

It was also really easy to share my NAS to someone else for exit node access while traveling, and they reported back a flawless experience streaming movies while overseas via the exit node off my residential 1000/1000 fiber.

And for the 'average person' with an Apple TV? Just grab the Tailscale tvOS app and fire up an exit node of your own for when you travel later on, too!

The tvOS app really is a great Tailscale feature. My in-laws can access media on my home server any time they like with a box that's simple enough for them to understand and maintain.
