I'm wondering if I'm starting to outgrow Tailscale... my wife keeps having networking issues on Android due to Tailscale, the Nvidia Shield kills the Tailscale app randomly, and my parents' TV doesn't have a Tailscale app...

I feel like the time is approaching to publicly expose some of my services to the internet...

Any other tips?

I wouldn't

Is mTLS an option?

You also could setup a ingress node on the network to route certain IP addresses over Tailscale.

I personally prefer Netbird

You know. mTLS might be an option. I have a tiny number of clients. Laptops and Android phones, seems easy to install a client cert. The part I'm not sure about is TVs... Does Nvidia Shield or Firestick allow installing client certs?...

Oh, wait and also: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-meta/discussions/96
