You're right, the VPS only serves the purpose of a static public IPv4 which I can use with a domain.

    Honestly never thought to use a VPS like that before. We've all seen using a VPS as a VPN exit node. Do you run into quota limits on the VPS or Tailscale side? Too many requests/data?

    I'm gonna have to look into this for fun lol

    Nah, it's a Hetzner CX23 with 20 TB of included traffic, which I will never exceed. And the setup is actually recommended because you don't expose your actual server but only the VPS. I watched a video from the Headscale devs a few years ago where the recommended this type of setup.

    EDIT: btop is reporting 6.72 TB down and 6.43 TB up in the past 329 days of uptime.

    Ah I'll have to look into this then...gotta find a VPS that will hopefully have a Los Angeles location and have decent traffic bandwidth.
