   They make the already great wireguard even better! Installation and configuration is a breeze, can easily connect to machines behind firewall(s) without altering anything.

   Definitely made life easier.

• Would we still create Nebula today?

  No love for tinc[1]? It's the granddaddy of mesh networking, long before Wireguard, and while it's not quite zeroconf, it's very simple to setup and maintain. It also runs on everything. [1]: https://tinc-vpn.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Tunneling to Synology NAS without opening ports.

  Two other options are Tinc https://tinc-vpn.org/ or Nebula https://www.defined.net/nebula/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Port Forward Security & Alternatives

  And there is Tinc; the OG overlay network. I don't have experience with this. Seemed a bit of a pain to setup. https://tinc-vpn.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app

  For what its worth I have used the open source Tinc VPN [1] for mesh multihop routing for ages. It is nowhere near as fast as Wireguard but I could envision Tinc incorporating support for Wireguard if the author were so inclined. Like you mentioned Tinc does not mesh with other VPN's AFAIK.

• You may not need Cloudflare Tunnel. Linux is fine

  This is actually very simple in concept and is just as simple or even simpler to do with tinc (https://tinc-vpn.org). Since I can use tinc in bridge mode, I can run tinc on the upstream server and on a local machine which then provides access to several physical machines without running extra software on each of those machines, which is particularly useful for machines that are resource limited, like my Macintosh... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• I have made a smalll NAS server using samba. What is the port to fwd to get to it externally

  Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well. Source: 4 months ago

• Macbook air M1 used with Remote Desktop

  My recommendation would be to use Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/) so you don't expose RDP to the internet. The basic Remote Desktop Client will work but if you want something more complex, Remote Desktop Manager is great https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/. Source: 4 months ago

• Enabling Remote Access

  You will need to go to their website Tailscale click the link or just go to tailscale.com. You will need to setup an account and then download the program and login to that once installed. Source: 4 months ago
