Knocker, a knock based access control system for your homelab

When every problem seems like a nail then every solution you come up with is a hammer.

This is what it feels like people using AI for everything.

AI is not good at telling you best solution but it will tell you that you can build it yourself since that approach is what AI is good at.

Using self hosted vpn, cloudflare zero trust or Tailscale is the easiest way to go.

I self host extensively and have multiple self hosted VPN(OpenVPN and WireGuard) along with Tailscale and cloudflare protecting my infra.

If you're getting people to rely on external dependency services, e.g. Cloudflare or Tailscale, then you're a part of the problem, not the solution!

Tailscale is not as easy as this. It has to be installed on every device or at the router level.

And it will not work on mobile if you already use another VPN.
