Thank you for answering very clearly. That's what I was expecting to hear. I was also looking at Nerdrack. It's very interesting to hear your bandwidth numbers, I would only be serving to three users, so I'd likely be looking at much less than your 300 GB, which is very good to know!

Using it now for just jellyfin and it works well, but at this point it's still in beta and there's a maximum of three ports available.

It's the ISP. I've asked about it, they won't let me do anything about it unless I sign up for a business account at triple the price.

And no, I don't need a VPS strictly for Tailscale, but i do want to access my tailnet from machines where I cannot install Tailscale (at work and on a roku tv in a remote location, specifically).

 

Another Lemmy thread led me to thinking about getting a cheap VPS for my homelab. I'm double-NATted by my ISP, so I can't do traditional port forwarding. I'd like to get a cheap VPS, install Tailscale on it, and access my homelab from anywhere without having to have Tailscale on every device I use (at work where I can't install it, for example).

I found a cheap VPS company and the plan I was looking at gives 1000 GB bandwidth per month. Some of the things I want to access are media servers (Navidrome and Jellyfin). So if I set up the VPS with nothing but a reverse proxy and Tailscale, will all my Jellyfin traffic go through the VPS and count as bandwidth used?
