I am looking into the ways of accessing self-hosted stuff remotely and it seems like something like Tailscale is the most popular and safest option to use. I don’t really understand the intended workflow though.

If you’re out of the house and need to do something on your phone or laptop using the homelab, do connect to it as-needed? Or is your phone/laptop always doing everything through the VPN so you don’t need to think about it?
