Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I’m blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just like NordVPN, I can install the browser extension to use it and I don’t need the Windows app.)

Most “VPN” browser extensions (if not all of them) aren’t actually doing a VPN connection but just change the proxy setting in the browser. This is because as a browser extension they wouldn’t have enough permissions/power to establish a real VPN connection.
So if you want to use a browser extension you have to run a proxy server, or as other said, just use cloudflared as running a proxy server attracts bots from all over the world
