# Skip the Cloud: Securely Self-Hosting Any App with Tailscale

Want to host your own backend without paying cloud fees or wrestling with port forwarding? Self-hosting from a spare computer at home is a great alternative to the cloud, but exposing your home network to the open internet is risky and complicated. Enter Tailscale: a zero-config VPN that lets you securely connect your devices anywhere in the world, as if they were on the exact same local network. In this talk, we’ll explore how to safely, easily, and affordably host any application from your house. To demonstrate exactly how seamless this is, I'll live-code a multiplayer game and deploy it to a home machine on stage.

We will cover:

The Infrastructure: Why you shouldn't open your router ports, and how Tailscale solves the self-hosting security problem.

The Setup: A quick, practical walkthrough of getting Tailscale running on your machines.

The Demo: Live-coding an app, deploying it locally, and securely connecting remote users.

The Takeaway: How to apply this exact setup to your own APIs, web apps, home-labs, or personal projects.
