I think Tailscale [1] can be to WireGuard what Github and Gitlab are to git.

If you haven’t checked them out yet: worth taking a look!

Yggdrasil and GNUnet seem like more interesting alternatives to me (with cjdns and hyperboria as cousins). Although these do not build on wireguard, they employ the same basic stack (plus some to handle a mesh topology).


Is that like Hamachi? https://vpn.net/


What is the difference between this and ZeroTier? https://www.zerotier.com/



Works only with some identity providers, for some reason I could not understand. If you don’t have a Google, Microsoft or corporate email identity provider, you can’t use it.

There might be a reason for this, but still it’s not in the same space as Wireguard.


young company, cover a large amount of users with a simple and quick solution

using google/microsoft account is easier than setting up a user service that is comparable in security and ease of use

I was setting up a Raspberry Pi (3B+) at the office and wanted to connect to it from home.

Researching various approaches lead me to a hn thread recommending Tailscale, signed up, worked for me & now I’m a happy user and planning to get 2 additional new Pis tomorrow (still deciding between the 2G and the 4G model).

edit: I regularly recommend things I find useful to others (especially those that took me some effort to discover) independent of whether they are bits of insight (try x instead of y), open source software or for profit software.

Just thought others might find this useful as well, that’s all.


Accusing someone of shilling is contrary to HN comment guidelines.

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email us and we'll look at the data."
