How to Securely Access a Cybersecurity Homelab Remotely with Tailscale and RustDesk
· 2:50 · Watch on YouTube ↗
Summary
A hands-on demonstration of using Tailscale to privately access a Proxmox homelab without exposing it to the public internet, including exit-node routing, RustDesk remote access, and Tailscale SSH.
Key points
- The presenter accesses a home Proxmox lab while traveling without exposing the Proxmox host to the public internet.
- Tailscale connects trusted devices to a private network and provides private addresses for accessing the lab.
- The presenter configures the Proxmox server as an exit node to route internet traffic through the home network.
- RustDesk is used for remote access to the presenter's MacBook Pro.
- Tailscale SSH is demonstrated for managing authentication and authorization of SSH connections within the Tailnet.
