If your remote access is you reaching a handful of web dashboards, install Tailscale and forget about it. It's got superb polish and is seamless for that use case. My case for NetBird is specific: I wanted a control plane that's the vendor's actual product rather than a third-party reimplementation of a closed one, and I wanted to tunnel things that don't speak HTTP without asking permission from a three-port allowlist. If neither of those is your problem, NetBird's stack is overhead you don't need. If both are, there isn't really a competition.
