I have a home server and I have some HTTP services running on it. I'm thinking if I should even bother with HTTPS, as I'm already using tail scale which should be peer-to-peer and encrypted. So I shouldn't worry about any men in the middle.

Am I missing something?

It just feels wrong to work with non-S HTTP :(

Yes, I misread and immediately deleted my post lol. I think you were talking about tailscale VPN, and I was thinking something more like cloudflare tunnel.

That said, the risk is still there that tailscale (or whichever middle company) can read your plaintext packets.
