Your home lab should never go down. Learn how to build a failproof setup with ZimaBoard, redundant networks, Kasm & Tailscale VPN—no static IP required!

Ever worried about your home lab going down due to a flaky internet connection? In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you how to create a bulletproof setup using a Zima Board with Ubuntu, dual networks (optical fiber + 5G for automatic failover), Kasm workspaces for secure testing, and Tailscale VPN for easy remote access from anywhere—no dedicated IP required!
Perfect for tech enthusiasts, travelers, or anyone wanting uninterrupted access to check malicious links, run Discord, or test setups on the go. We cover network prioritization, Kasm installation, Tailscale configuration, and a quick kill switch for security.
