September 17, 20241 yr Unfortunately, my ISP has put me behind a CGNAT. What does it take to access Unraid remotely via Unraid Connect? Do I need to run Tailscale and get a remote VPS?
September 17, 20241 yr It should be sufficient to use IPV6 then. Or, is this also NAT-ted??? (kill that ISP then!)
September 17, 20241 yr Author I read IPV6 isn’t widely supported (public wifis, mobile networks, etc). Is this correct? If so, any suggestion on an alternative path?

Here in Germany I do not know ANY mobile networks that does not support it anymore. Public Wifis are a different thing, but who needs them anyway??? Personally I do not use V4 anymore, everything is running on V6 only. If somebody cannot reach me, I don't care, he should update. On the other hand, with CGNAT you do not have a different chance at all!

September 18, 20241 yr Author Thanks for your responses. In this case, I'd need to run tailscale on all of my devices? E.g., on iphone, apple tv, etc. People also speak about setting up a VPS in addition to tailscale? What's the additional benefit in doing so?
September 18, 20241 yr If you're just using Tailscale, anything that you'd be using to access Unraid remotely. There are other approaches too.... VPS + reverse proxy + Tailscale, Cloudflare tunnels... it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
September 18, 20241 yr Author Thanks. What's the difference between Tailscale versus VPS / reverse proxy / tailscale. What's the benefit of each of these two solutions?

Does it work with swag docker mods cloudflare tunnel?
