Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I’m blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just like NordVPN, I can install the browser extension to use it and I don’t need the Windows app.)

    I’d be very wary about trying to bypass any workplace restrictions (which includes using a non-company VPN etc. etc.) to access self-hosted services.

    Remember, your work computer belongs to the business (unless you’re self employed).

    Depending on your line of work this could range from a slap on the wrist onto immediate termination and fines.

      Yeah, that is the unfortunate reality. The better way is going through your IT department to get those extra things you need for work. If you are found out, and I am sure IT will eventually be able to, you will be in trouble.
