As in, would they be able to access your server?

I've always wanted to do this however do I understand it correctly that I need to host headscale on a vps server that is not in my tailnet/home network?

[–] uzay@infosec.pub 5 points 3 weeks ago

It can be on your home network, but it needs to be reachable via HTTPS through the internet. So yeah, a vps is probably the best option.

I dont think so. It would just require some ports open.
