Hi,

I just recently setup tailscale for accessing all my self-hosted fun stuff while I am away from home as securely and conveniently as possible. It dawned on me today that it’s entirely possible that tailscale can have an outage one day, and at that time I would need a backup. So I searched around and the best open source alternative with the same concept I could find was zerotier. So, I have a few questions for you.

#1. Can I use zerotier alongside Tailscale for backup connections in the scenario I described? If so, should I?

#2. What is your backup method you currently have set up?

ZeroTier may not. There are numerous Raspberry Pi VPN options if you want, or already have, the hardware, and also this:
