    Wireguard is super quick and easy to setup and use, I’d highly recommend to do that now. I don’t understand the recent obsession with Tailscale apart from bypassing cgNAT

      Tailscale is an abstraction layer built on top of Wireguard. It handles things like assigning IP addresses, sharing public kegs, and building a mesh network without you having to do any manual work. People like easy solutions, which is why it’s popular.

      To manually build a mesh with Wireguard, every node needs to have every other node listed as a peer in their config. I’ve done this manually before, or you could automate it (eg using Ansible or a tool specifically for Wireguard meshes). With Tailscale, you just log in using one of their client apps, and everything just works automatically.
