• Remote access from work/corporate network

  Wireguard. Wireguard uses UDP only and runs TCP sockets over UDP. Source: about 1 year ago

• Central reverse-proxy ssh access?

  Look at Wireguard. I know you don't want Yet Another VPN running alongside your IPSec, but it's less VPN and more encrypted point-to-point UDP. You can set it up on any port you wish, including common ports that might be open on an outbound smart firewall not doing deep packet inspection. That way, it can stay out of the way of your existing IPSec deployment. Source: about 1 year ago

• Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.69]

  We use Elixir/Erlang for our control plane, and Rust for our data plane, built on the excellent WireGuard® tunneling protocol. Source: about 1 year ago

• Globally distributed Elixir over Tailscale

  Both products are based off Wireguard which is available for all new linux distributions. https://wireguard.com . I'm not saying OP's solution is wrong, just curious what the advantages are. Other than potentially simpler client setup, what are the advantages of paying for tailscale. With the opensource tailscale, I'm not sure if you get access to an api you can use to look up the hosts.

• Securely Accessing Private AWS Resources from GitHub Actions with TailScale

• A word of caution about Tailscale

  Https://github.com/juanfont/headscale not to mention but Tailscale has a very good culture, I’m sure they would give notice if they pull the rug. There are also many alternatives such as Zerotier and more are showing up every day and open source options. Source: 5 months ago

• Connecting several hundreds IoT (raspberry pi's) devices with a VPN

  How about self-hosted Tailscale, known as Headscale. Source: 5 months ago

• Mullvad on Tailscale: Privately browse the web

  You can run your own "head scale" control server and use their clients with it: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale Requires a lot more setup, but it is an option. I've been self-hosting headscale for some time and it is quite stable. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Admin-Friendly Mesh VPN with WireGuard?

  After browsing through, I've noticed that three options seem to be gaining traction: Netmaker, wg-easy, and headscale. I'm curious to know if these solutions are interchangeable, and if there are specific reasons to choose one over the others. I'd also like to understand if they are complete stacks, meaning, once set up, could I easily replace one admin GUI with another, or would I need to tear down and rebuild... Source: 9 months ago
