It’s just something to keep in mind.

Tailscale is also a good option. Headscale will also be good for this once they finish the implementation.

Netbird’s reverse proxy is still in beta and is free, so when it goes GA the pricing may change. Otherwise this is a great option.

Local DNS with rewrites is the answer. Don’t mess with CoreDNS unless you know what you’re doing. It has the potential to fubar the cluster DNS.

Running a local DNS server is super easy, especially compared to managing a kubernetes cluster. Install Adguard Home or Pihole, set your devices to use this server, and add some rewrites. That’s it.
