Hello I’ve been using cloudflare to get remote access for the couple apps I selfhost, but lately I’ve been hearing about the wonders of tailscale.

It seems that the free tier is enough for my use. Which would be a safe option to have remote access for my 3D printer? Also how are both in terms of privacy?

Wait, what’s this about them hating VPNs?

I guess they mean that you get to solve many Captchas if you access Cloudflare-protected sites through a VPN.
