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.

    I know a lot here are not too comfortable with Cloudflare. However, the Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust is a solid option.

    I purchased a domain from NamesCheap for less that $5 USD. Cloudflare doesn’t require you to purchase a domain from them, however they do require that you use their nameservers for obvious reasons.

    Baring all of that, Tailscale is solid as well.
