• Remote access from work/corporate network

  Wireguard. Wireguard uses UDP only and runs TCP sockets over UDP. Source: 12 months 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: almost 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.

• 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 / 7 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
