January 11, 20251 yr I have three Unraid servers; 2 in my primary residence and one in a second home. The two in primary residence both have IPMI and one is on 24x7. Wireguard remote LAN access has worked great for several years in this situation as I have it running on the 24x7 server as well as a Raspberry Pi that hosts PiHole and Wireguard. In the second home which we have started to use much more frequently, it is a different situation. The server is only on when we are there; however, I still wanted to be able to manage it remotely when needed. This server does not have an IPMI-enabled motherboard but I did install a Geekworm Internal PiKVM in it. PiKVM docs suggest installing Tailscale for remote access. After installing that on the PiKVM and with the Tailscale integration in Unraid 7.0.0, remote access to that Unraid server is now super easy. Through remote Tailscale access to the PiKVM I can power on the Unraid server and then access the server through Tailscale running there. I have tested this several times now and it works flawlessly. I will still continue to use both Wireguard and Tailscale as the situation warrants and I am very pleased that the Unraid team has made integration and operation of these technologies with Unraid super easy. Well done.
