Almost everyone asking this actually needs (a), so that's the order I'll give.\n\n### For private access to your own infrastructure (what I'd actually recommend)\n\n1. **Tailscale** - my default pick for any team with engineers. WireGuard-based mesh, peer-to-peer so it's fast, device onboarding takes about two minutes, ACLs are config-as-code, and SSO works with Google/Okta/Entra.
