  • Tailscale "just works". Since I've set it up I've never really thought about using anything else. Adding new devices is seamless.

  • I've been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.

    • Looks interesting. What do you do for mobile devices that need to connect to your network?

      • There is an android app. I haven't needed to use it yet though, mobile isn't my particular use case for this. But it should work fine.

  • I first tried zerotier but ran into some weird issue...don't recall what it is now....and then tried tailscale and was up and running in like 15 mins. But I see others have had the absolutely opposite experience from mine where tailscale wouldn't work and zerotier would. I think they're both great products.

  • I tried and zerotier and didn't understand it, so use tinc. My own network that meshes and is only my servers

    • I love tinc, it's so simple. I wish there were something just as easy that leveraged wireguard instead of whatever custom VPN/tunneling stuff tinc uses, as using it scares me with how seemingly little maintenance tinc gets. Like if tailscale/headscale and tinc had a baby, haha.

      Is there a way to run tinc on your phone or similar? To me that's another bonus of tailscale at least.
