### Using Tailscale
119+
120+
[Tailscale](http://tailscale.com) is a free secure VPN. Although this depends
121+
on a third-party service, tailscale to be [up and
122+
running](https://status.tailscale.com/), it is a worthwhile alternative for

those that want to setup a secure connection to their IPads without the need of

setting up an external domain.
125+
See instructions [here](https://tailscale.com/kb/1166/vscode-ipad) on how to
126+
