I get to use the same host names and IP addresses at home or on the VPN. I run a simple wireguard server on a Raspberry pi, and the whole setup has been rock solid.

I did set up tailscale, way back. After using it a few times to test, it failed me when I really needed it (I was out of the country and it failed - can't remember exactly what went wrong but it wwas 100% 'in my tailscale account'). I immediately dropped it and went back to OpenVPN (shit but reliable) before building my current setup.

Because hostname.tail62bc83.ts.net is a mouthful.
