Playing around with a new self-host NAS OS, finally thought about Tailscale. But, I see it wants a login to an account. Checking online, seems I have to use Google, Apple, MS, Github or OIDC (which iassume costs money based on the site).

So how tf y'all setting to your tail scale stuff? I'm not using a big brother us tech account for auth on this thing. Think I'd rather go back to regular wireguard if that's the case.

Edit: OK I see you can use regular email. It didn't load the webpage correctly the first time or I missed it. Odd. Anyway, I do don't want an account add I don't want to risk any data compromise at some point

I don’t want to risk any data compromise at some point

What data compromise are you worried about?

End-to-End Encryption: Tailscale utilizes WireGuard
No Centralized Servers: Tailscale creates a direct peer-to-peer connection between devices
Minimal Metadata: Tailscale may collect some metadata to facilitate connections, but this info does not include the content of your data.
User-Controlled Access: You have control over which devices can connect
Tailscale does not, and cannot inspect your traffic

I'm not the Tailscale sales person. Go with whatever suites your threat model. I am just curious what data compromise you are concerned with. If it's the metadata aspect, you already blew that away when you made the post here at Lemmy, even assuming you are using a VPN.

Just a heads up: Headscale will use the official Tailscale DERP servers to resolve NAT traversal.
