What's the point of the tailscale setup of you have a reverse proxy open to the net anyway?

The easiest way for the VM to reverse proxy stuff to my home server (without tracking my residential dynamic IP and messing with my router / NAT) is for the VM to be on tailscale too..then I can just proxy calls on the VM to the home server's tailscale address.

If you're asking why I bother to use tailscale on my phone to connect Jellyfin that way instead of just using the reverse proxy, I guess it saves me a little in bandwidth costs and it pings faster.

I suppose that makes sense... I guess tailscale doesn't need NAT config?

I have a dynamic IP in theory, but if I keep the router plugged in with less than 30 minutes downtime, I can keep the same IP for years.
