https://ian.rocks I'm a full-stack developer who thrives at the intersection of design and logic. I build things that look good under the hood and on the screen. https://ian.rocks/blog/2026/02/27/tailscale-to-the-rescue https://ian.rocks/blog/2026/02/27/tailscale-to-the-rescue Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT Recently I had an issue where I needed one of my React components to speak to one of the services in my homelab. I needed this to happen securely, and did not want to have my API public.. But what do I do? Well, Tailscale has serve! Which allows me to serve a webpage, to my tailnet, on a secure domain! This is perfect! All I needed to do was to make my component make a client side fetch and as long as the requesting user is on my tailnet, they'll get a response! If they are not, they get a 404! Perfect!
