I’m just using WireGuard on a VPS with multiple interfaces. I’m still doing heavy ad/tracking blocking via DNS too.
As for App Connectors I’m working on a script (compiled program hopefully down the road) that can query a specific hostname using a specific interface (say, a US-only website using DNS over a US-based VPN) then create a virtual IP address that directs to that same IP using the correct tunnel.
My reasoning for the virtual IP address is that I don’t want to redirect every website on the host to the other tunnel—lots of servers have an array of websites on them.
What I found disappointing about Tailscale is I had to do a lot of “hacks” to make things work—DNS on each exit node had to match perfectly (despite using different exit tunnels)—then the shit would only work like 20% of the time. One day traffic for the US tunnel worked, the next day it was going out of the exit node. I also never got it working correctly in Docker so I was running multiple VPS servers.
