Do you use cloudfare tunnel or a vpn like tailscale or wireguard ? Why would you choose of these over the other? (alien.top)

How do you access those services from a public network?

With Wireguard?

Sure, but what if that computer doesn't have wireguard installed. I don't see any other way except exposing the service to the public.

I use Tailscale, and you can set up a subnet router for that particular use case.
