OK so I'm looking for some feedback for a conundrum I really like and would like to use #netbird or #tailscale, with a strong leaning toward tailscale. But... To use either you have to use an OpenID Connect identity provider This is something that literally all the videos and tutorials skim past quickly, nothing to see here... The thing is that the 'ready to go' providers are Google, Apple, Microsoft, github and a couple of others. And as someone who has a healthy dislike/distrust of these companies and would prefer to degoogle and demicroslop wherever possible The thought of tying my mesh VPN to one of these providers just feels wrong, and if you loose access to your OIDC you loose access to your tailscale/netbird I understand that I could self host a provider, but that seems like an overcomplication and removes the simplicity of what netbird and talescale are trying to do The other option is to sign up to another OIDC provider like Zitadel.. Which also seems like an overcomplication Who ever though OIDC is more secure probably also keeps all their eggs in one basket too What would you do in this situation

Hey #homelab & #selfhost crowd, my setup is stable enough and has worked for years but it's probably not the most secure and I'm thinking about moving away from a local reverse proxy for the services I want to expose and going with a #pangolin or #netbird setup for all my home network anywhere needs. Has anyone made the switch, which one did you go with and was there any pitfalls?
