NAT punching and proxying when a p2p connection between any 2 nodes cannot be achieved. It’s a world of difference with mobile devices when they always see each other, all the time. However, headscale does all that.

I never really understood the point of using Tailscale over plain ol’ WireGuard. I mean I guess if youve got a dozen+ nodes but I feel like most laymens topologies won’t be complex beyond a regular old wireguard config

Simplicity?

I mean sure, but I don’t think it’s simpler than setting up a wireguard config IMO. For tailscale you gotta make an account, register devices, connect them. Feel like wireguard is about the same except you don’t have to make an account.

Same thing here, either tailscale selfhosted or Netbird selfhosted I’d the way to go for all the nice features, having the free tier or tailscale for personal data never sounded right to me.

Wireguard doesn’t do NAT/Firewall traversal nor does it have SSO
