Raspberry Pi Remote Access (Tailscale Tutorial) | Future Volt

In our previous videos, we explored how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a server and access it from anywhere in the world using ngrok. However, ngrok had a limitation that some of you might have noticed. In this video, we'll address that limitation and introduce a better solution: Tailscale. Previous Video: https://youtu.be/UOUSa64ciKs Components: Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi 3B: https://amzn.to/4htKQOY Raspberry Pi 3B+: https://amzn.to/415Bbso Raspberry Pi 4: https://amzn.to/3CHSdU4 Raspberry Pi 5: https://amzn.to/40QUkgk Memory Card: https://amzn.to/4hN8sxN Gears I Used: Microphone: https://amzn.to/43eovkg The Problem with ngrok: We encountered an issue where certain applications, like ESPHome, displayed a blank page when accessed remotely through ngrok, while they worked perfectly within the local network. Tailscale Solution: Tailscale creates a secure virtual private network (VPN) that allows you to access your Raspberry Pi from anywhere as if you were on the same local network. In this video, you'll learn: - How to set up Tailscale on your Windows PC and Android phone. - How to install and configure Tailscale on your Raspberry Pi. - How to access your Raspberry Pi and its applications (like ESPHome) remotely using Tailscale. - How Tailscale solves the problems we encountered with ngrok. Why use Tailscale? - Securely access your Raspberry Pi from anywhere. - No need for port forwarding or complex configurations. - Works seamlessly with various applications. - Provides a stable and reliable connection. Steps Covered: - Tailscale Setup on PC and Phone: We'll guide you through installing and configuring Tailscale on your computer and mobile device. - Tailscale Setup on Raspberry Pi: We'll show you how to install Tailscale on your Raspberry Pi and connect it to your Tailnet. - Accessing Raspberry Pi Remotely: We'll demonstrate how to access your Raspberry Pi and its applications from anywhere using Tailscale. - Troubleshooting: Address the issues encountered with ngrok and show how Tailscale resolves them.
