> But in terms of Tailscale, if you are going to set up all kinds of client certificate things that will take a lot of time and effort, why not self-host Wireguard also?

Already do! I tried Tailscale initially, but ultimately decided to put in the effort of a proper Wireguard setup. It's how my personal devices always get back to my home LAN, and then exit to the internet; it's also how I make sure every DNS lookup hits the Pi-Hole, for domain blocking wherever I am.

I emphatically recommend learning WireGuard (and to a lesser degree, VPN Concentration) when practical and possible. Until then, Tailscale is an excellent product.
