Networking & Mesh

Modern homelabs rely heavily on mesh networks, overlay topologies, and secure tunnels to connect physical nodes, VMs, and mobile devices across different locations without opening public router ports.

In this section:

• Headscale & Tailscale: Self-hosted mesh control plane and tailnet ingress.
• FRP & STCP Tunnels: Point-to-point reverse proxying through CGNAT.
• DNS & Caching (Blocky): Fast, blocking DNS caching on low-power edge nodes.
