> This is ideal for homelab environments where you want to expose services to the internet without a persistent VPN connection, while minimizing your public-facing attack surface.

To an untrained eye, the wording here could be construed to imply that this is more secure than a VPN. Might be worth a reword to clarify why one might prefer it want to over a VPN.

Sorry if i wasn't clear. It isn't more secure, it's just more convenient because it works in every network, without needing to set up a VPN connection on each device.

I created this because I always have a VPN on my devices, and I can't have tailscale running with that, in addition to tailscale killing my battery life on android.
