Yup. I use it for sftp, ssh. I've never used in relation to a database. Is that for remote db? I am working on routeing mail through tailscale to a relay, since my host, for whatever reason, blocks mail ports and charges to have them turned on. I just wanted alert emails from a couple apps.
Should work fine. Your provider can't stop you from opening ports unless its a shared environment and you don't have permission/the port is already in use. Generally what they do is just block connections via a router/firewall. So if you use a VPN you're sidestepping that issue. With the VPN in place, and the server online and running you should be able to connect via
{VPN_IP}:995, etc.For every technology there exists an equal, yet undoing technology.
