“roaming” device is always connected to their “home” network by VPN

Ah, right. Well, currently I do have my wife's and my phone on the Tailscale VPN. The issue I'm trying to solve is that the VPN app on Android (and other environments) isn't 100% bug-free. For some unknown reason, my wife frequently has issues with Tailscale. It'll break her entire networking on her phone. The only way to fix it is by rebooting her phone. I have no idea why because we have the same phone and the same settings and it works fine on my phone. I've tried turning off Tailscale, logging out, and back in, and the network won't recover. Sometimes the Tailscale app won't even trigger the SSO page to sign in. So it just stays permanently logged off.

The Nvidia Shield also has similar issues where I have to fuss around with the VPN.

So at this point, I feel like I'm done debugging VPN apps and maybe it would be easier for users if I expose stuff to the public internet. Obviously, it makes management for me harder, but that's ok if everything Just Works for everyone without extra steps or without having to reboot your phone every week.

site-to-site VPN configurations between routers at each location ... the router itself handle routing of specific traffic over the VPN connection, instead of needing each device to connect to the VPN individually.

Interesting. This could help with my home network and my parent's, but I also need to handle cases where I don't control the network. I have clients that are phones. My family would expect that the services keep working even if they're in a different city on cellular or at a friend's house.

I am kinda interested in WireGuard, but how does it work with multiple non-PC devices on different networks? Tailscale runs seamlessly on my Arch laptop, but Android, TVs, and streaming sticks have hiccups from time to time.

I have services that I want to share with my non-techie family. If a service stops working, they suck at debugging and fixing the issue on their own.

I'm gonna guess they're totally cool with it.

Yeah, I used to give myself buzz cuts. 1 length all around. Not too difficult.

I'm having a tough time deciding. On the one hand Pixel+GrapheneOS would probably be the most private and secure. On the other hand, Fairphone would be the easiest to repair.

I like doing things myself (up to a point) and not being at the mercy of some repair shop. I also don't want to buy another phone for a really long time.

Although the Trump regime is also a real threat....

Every time I hear him speak, I am reminded of just how stupid he is.

I know this is common knowledge on Lemmy, but damn it's still nice to read. When I talk to folks around town, they all think he's a genius... it's really jarring.

Oh, interesting. https://www.clove-technology.com/collections/smartphones-fairphone/products/fairphone-gen-6

Is this the original (Android) version directly from Fairphone? I know Murena sells the Fairphone too, but it seems like they preinstall /e/OS.

Is anyone using the Clove Fairphone in the US?

Interesting. TIL https://minifree.org/

Wat. Naow...

looks left - Someone installing Guix

looks right - Someone browsing their Immich library on Librewolf

looks behind - Someone commenting about how we shouldn't support facists

looks across the street - Google, Apple, Facebook, Walmart, MAGA, OBEY, SLEEP, MARRY AND REPRODUCE

Well... fuck.

I've considered a safe, but I've heard the paper contents may mold if left in there too long. Currently too lazy to manage that.

Ask Lemmy.
