Not exactly sure what you're asking for but

cat /proc/mounts

will reveal all mount points on the device aswell as which device is mounted there.

Not really. As soon as you have a path from global internet into your home network, all bets are off and you're now in charge of securing all of that against the entire world.

That said, if this is a regular old HTTP service, I believe Cloudflare Tunnels offer a way to put an authentication mechanism in front. This can work if, just like with Tailscale, you have a limited known set of users but the difference is that those users don't to have to install and use a VPN client to access your service but rather authenticate using an "external" HTTP service through their browser. Again, I do not believe this works for services accessed through APIs and certainly not ones using custom protocols.

I can't stress enough that getting those remote users to use Tailscale is probably the best and easiest solution.

Note that while they're disingenuously proclaiming themselves to be a "free" tool, the license is actually an unfree proprietary custom license.

There's three reasons:

  • As mentioned in the blog post, Funnel is still a rather new feature. It's still in beta.
  • It goes far beyond Tailscale's core purpose; it's basically a separate service.
  • It's free for now but probably won't be for long. TS' core functionality will likely be free or at worst very low cost for a long time but public hosting is a helluvalot more costly and also dangerous.

That said, if I had to share something with the public internet temporarily, I'd try not doing that first but could see myself using TS Tunnels.

I'd cross that bridge when I get there.

Are you expecting to have users in far away countries any time soon?

Hm, in that case Tailscale isn't quite what you want. It's not about opening up to the internet but rather your own virtual private network (hey, a VPN) with manually approved devices.

They do have a new Funnel feature which allows exposing specific parts to the Internet via their proxy though: https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel

He’s also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail

It's insane but it's true. Great guy.

The ones primarily filled with assholes. Hexbear and Lemmygrad for now.

I mean, comments have languages and you can filter but the automatic detection isn't very good.

The ability to mark communities as being a certain language by default (applying to all posts and comments unless specified or detected otherwise) would be great though.

It blocks their replies from reaching your inbox but I really wish it blocked their comments generally too or at least put them behind a content warning/hides it.

Who are your users? Where are they located?
