If your VPN for remote access to your server goes down, what's your backup? (alien.top)

Hi,

I just recently setup tailscale for accessing all my self-hosted fun stuff while I am away from home as securely and conveniently as possible. It dawned on me today that it's entirely possible that tailscale can have an outage one day, and at that time I would need a backup. So I searched around and the best open source alternative with the same concept I could find was zerotier. So, I have a few questions for you.

#1. Can I use zerotier alongside Tailscale for backup connections in the scenario I described? If so, should I?

#2. What is your backup method you currently have set up?
