New to pfsense

sjpritch25

So I purchased a small mini pc and running pfsense off it. I have a small managed netgear switch.
I have a unifi controller on vultr that runs my controller.

I just have the basic's setup to give me internet.

I have 3 vlans setup
lan vlan
Main wifi vlan
IOT wifi vlan

Plan is to restrict IOT vlan which looks to be pretty straight forward.

My next goal is to get vpn setup. I want to be able to access network remotely. I'm not looking to host a vpn, just want to connect.

Secondly, I'm planning on setting up rust desk for family and friends. I get asked for IT help and this is an easy setup via docker.

I was planning on using tailscale for access to my router and to use for rust desk.

Has anyone used tailscale? I"m open to other recommendations.

I would start out using OpenVPN, it's the easiest to get setup.

I use Tailscale to remotely access my LAN and to encrypt my traffic when using untrusted public WiFi.

The official pfSense Tailscale package does not bundle the latest Tailscale client, but you can easily update via the CLI.
