It seems too centralized. At that point why not use a VPS? I have a free vps from oracle I already use to relay some unimportant services to a static IP. But it's extra latency

I also run monerod, p2pool, i2pd and tord nodes, the purpose of which is defeated by central infrastructure.

But yeah friends have reccomended tailscale I have just never gotten fuzzy feelings whenever I revisit it. If we want to build a NAT-less world then everyone needs to get a static ipv6 and run an eepsite or onion service, and we can just use pubkeys for addressing.

Not quite sure what your specific use case it if you've already got a VPS @ OCI (I do too, its great, and super low latency from home to it).

That said, another option not mentioned is cloudflare tunnels. I run cloudflared on a proxmox'd tiny PC. My internal services are accessible to me externally, but secure. Easy to set up the security layer (sign in through your google account, github account, IP restrictions, WARP and lots more).

> the purpose of which is defeated by central infrastructure

Any ISP you use will also qualify as central infrastructure. You aren't making any sense. Just rent something that lives in a datacenter and get on with life.

I'm a long time network admin and Tailscale is my favorite network tool ever. It just magically lets you connect servers in a very secure way. The tools you mention are great for learning but miserable to actually use.
