For anyone else who wonders wtf tailscale is:

> Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

It seems to take care of key distribution, nat-traversal, authentication etc etc

Neat! No sure how that is 'fixing internet' exactly, but really cool anyway

I'm about to go away but having local access will be very useful.

I've just setup tailscale in a few minutes, very smoothly. I'm impressed it scales down to this kind of simple use case nicely, and it seems it has nice features as my use cases might scale up.
