Figured I'd give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.
You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.
I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.
Edit: Note that I choose to self host NetBird, and haven't really used the service they provide all that much.
Replaced a self hosted Wireguard/OVPN setup that was used to navigate corporate/public networks with Netbird a few months ago and haven't looked back. Never having hosted Tailscale, I am impressed with the flexibility and routing an overlay VPN offers, particularly with Netbird's management UI. The project itself seems well maintained and the team regularly adds new features, many of which I have not bothered to explore yet.
Give it a go I say.
