Putting your Proxmox containers on the Internet!</p> <h1 id="overlay-networks">Overlay networks</h1> <p>So far, the only private networking technologies that I have used are <a href="https://www.neorouter.com/">Neorouter</a> and <a href="https://tailscale.com/">Tailscale</a>. They both create a tunnel adapter in Linux that connects to a central server to provide secure links to devices that are not directly linked together.</p> <p>I have used Neorouter a bunch in the past, and it works well. It lets me use <a href="https://www.tightvnc.com/">VNC</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol">Microsoft Remote Desktop</a> to connect to computers at home while I am at work, school, or traveling. I have switched to Tailscale (for now) because it works better with Apple IOS devices for doing things like VOIP. Someday I will self host my own overlay network controller, like <a href="https://headscale.net/stable/">Headscale</a>, <a href="https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/">Yggdrasil</a>.</p>
