I’ve been setting up a music server on my home server recently, looking to move away from private hosting options like iBroadcast, but I’ve hit a bit of a snag when it comes to actually accessing my server when away from home.
The two most common recommendations I’ve seen are Cloudflare and OpenVPN. My router supports OVPN access, so I gave that a try, but couldn’t ever actually make it work. I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s probably something with my ISP that I can’t really easily work around. As far as Cloudflare goes, setting up a tunnel requires you to have a domain set up with them even if you’re just using Warp, and since I don’t have one, that’s not an option.
What other good options are there for remote access? I’m running Open Media Vault as my server. Thanks.
Edit: Based on responses, it looks like Tailscale is the way to go since it’s all private to me. Thanks everyone!


Tailscale should work. It uses Wireguard and does some UDP fuckery to get around the firewall and NAT (including CGNAT). I can stream Jellyfin through it at 1080p native with no significant buffering, it’ll work for music.
I run substreamer and tailscale to access my home navidrome. Works like a charm.
