Learn how to connect a Virtual Private Server (VPS) in the cloud to your locally hosted infrastructure using an encrypted Tailscale tunnel, which utilizes WireGuard technology. The tutorial demonstrates setting up the VPS on DigitalOcean as an entry point to your self-hosted services without needing to open ports on your local firewall. Instead of HAProxy, the tutorial uses Caddy for simpler management of TLS certificates. This approach is cost-effective for hosting services like Jellyfin that need large storage, as it connects to local storage via Tailscale and provides secure, encrypted connections for remote access.
