He’s effecting the change he’s been talking about for years, so yeah he’s going to make a video about it. I don’t believe he’s getting anything financial from this product at all.
I don’t think he’s sold out. He’s reviewing products just as he always has, this is just the first one he had a small hand in the development of.
It might not be what you’re looking for, but tailscale offers end points where you can use mulvad vpn in conjunction with your tailscale network, might be worth looking into! I use it and it works great.
Obligatory due to the sub we’re in. I don’t believe tailscale falls into the space of “self hosted”. You’d need to set up your own wireguard server for that.
I second this, if it’s only you that needs access then Tailscale will be all that you need. You can use Tailscale funnel if you want it to be available to the wider web, but then you have to manage SSL certificates and it is slightly less secure.
I would caution against port forwarding and leaving your server open to the wider web.
