Well a VPS or an exposed service, but I feel like the latter ends up somewhat defeating the purpose anyway.
When running locally (not exposed), it worked great until I tried to make the initial connection from mobile data - can't establish a connection to headscale if it can't reach it in the first place. Unless I'm mistaken, the headscale service needs to be publicly accessible in some way.
Oh gotcha yes it does. Are you on CGNAT with your ISP so you can't forward ports?
Nah, but personally I have no need to expose anything and would rather avoid the security headaches and such that come with it
