  Headscale server, open source, self hosted, with the open source tailscale clients are the way to go.

  Is Headscale easier than Nebula? I thought it looked like it might become much more work.

  Nebula was mostly easy, but had a few hurdles I needed to learn.

  • Setting up systemd. I think I had to look that up and write a startup thing for it. I might have copied one from Syncthing or something! I don’t remember right now.
  • firewalls confused me a couple of times
  • and I had to get the hang of the certificate system of course

  I have mixed feelings about trying Defined Networking’s managed config, but I imagine that would get round the learning curve of the config.

  Yep, I tried Tailscale at home… 3 weeks later I started using it at work, so insanely easy.

  Netbird is easier to use although it is a little less developed

    I took a quick look at the GitHub repo - Netbird looks harder and more resource hungry, not easier! At least compared to Nebula.

      The UI is cleaner
