Vps with public ipv4 v6. Avoids all the dyndns mess.

Ssh-copy-id is Our friend too

Regarding the spinning wheel If accessed with a browser over http you never get through but the clients on desktop and mobile worked with http. At least until a few weeks ago. That forced me to get it working with a reverse proxy. Neither traefik nor npm did the trick and now I have a beautiful pangolin instance running on my vps. That software is amazing so far.

Not the question but still: pangolin reverse proxy does tailscale like features. I did it all, from cloudflare, bare bones wireguard, tailscale. Pangolin just works for me. Throw it on a cheap vps (mine is 3€ a month) and it’s set and forget.
