Not sure how I ever lived without it. Securing our home servers and devices was always a pain, Tailscale made this process so simple and effective. Plex doesn't have to just be published to the outside world now when we travel.

Take a little bit of learning, but very configurable and management. I've used it at home (homelab) and at work (500person enterprise) with equal success.
