Tailscale is the only non-self-hosted part of my setup now and this has bugged me since. I use a custom Nameserver rule to point all my subdomains to a Caddy container sitting on my Tailnet.

Tailscale allows you to disable the expiration time - I do this for my gateways. My other simplifier is having everything at home get a .home dns name, and telling Tailscale to route all these via tailnet.
