I’m travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I’m staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can’t use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I’ve tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

How can I circumvent this, if at all? I’m staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

If all you want is ssh the easiest and cheapest way might be to hire a VPS, connect to it and connect to tailscale there. Just ensure you have very strict rules on ssh and you should be safe enough.

Exposing web services in this manner is also easy using Caddy, but be careful since the services would then be publicly available.

No I want full access to my home media server for streaming, I have very little use for SSH only in this case.
