I fucking hate puzzles.
Been thinking about getting a backup Nas for home use. Mostly just wanted to get backups for my important documents on my main computer and my DJing laptop before it keels over and dies and I have to rebuild all my playlists and metrics by hand. I don't really care about plex or setting it up as a media server, but I wouldn't necessarily be against having some space dedicated for an iscsi drive to throw steam games on. I'm looking at a turnkey system rather than dealing with the hassle of building my own.

Has anyone used the Truenas Mini X? I have a lot of direct experience in the Synology space, but the mini x came up on my radar and I like the platform for the price - I just have no experience with the software stacks on either the Core or Scale side.

Do you feel it's worth the extra $400 to move from like a DS1522+ to the Truenas Mini X?

Also how concerned should I be for noise on either of those models? I live in a one bedroom where I can't necessarily get away from the sound of something if it's roaring like a jet engine constantly.

Tailscale matches better the actual definition of "Virtual Private Network", that's primarily what it provides for you. It doesn't by default route your non-VPN, normal Internet traffic anywhere.

Basically this. In enterprise settings, a VPN is largely there to securely connect a remote user to internal resources - someone at home on a company laptop needing to get on a company file share typically. Versus commercial VPN, which is really more of an encrypted network proxy used to mask your network traffic but isn't really used to connect you to an otherwise private server or anything.
