alt Hacker NewsTailscale is truly a cheat code. I have a web app that I run locally to control terminals on my Mac. I access the website on my phone using the 100.xx IP address and can code on the go. No need for a Mac or iOS app.
You can also use Tailscale serve to get a HTTPS url like Cloudflared but it's only visible to your tailnet. Be careful using Cloudflare tunnels because they are public and bots start poking around immediately.

Fyi you can point a domain/subdomain (eg lan.mysite.com) at that 100.x IP and it will only work for those on your tailnet.

For public access, similar to these cloudflare tunnels, there's Tailscale Funnel.
just use wireguard; tailscale is just the SSO enterprise overlay with a pricing tab.
I love TailScale but was getting crazy battery drain on my iPhone with it installed and setup. Still use it, just not from my phone now
Using Tailscale in exactly the same way. It has been such a blessing!
I use tailscale on my steam deck to play stardew valley with my son on my laptop, it truly is amazing
Alternatively, Netbird has been a dream to use over the last half year or so. I think their server software has had some hiccups on new releases, but I stagger those updates anyways. All self hosted, similar concept to Tailscale, very good management UI baked into the self hosted product.
