ZeroTier VS cloudflared

Tailscale uses Go https://tailscale.com/security#tailscale-is-written-in-go which might explain the larger sizes.

A cursory look through https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne shows more C++ and some Rust. Not sure how much static linking is involved here.

ZeroTier - Layer 2 overlay network. They take decentralization seriously, and like to say "decentralize until it hurts, then centralize until it works." Written in C++.

EDIT - I'm tired and cross-eyed after a bunch of internet searching and rabbit holes... A supposed ZeroTier dev said on April 25, 2023 that this would be addressed in a future release of the app in this thread: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1952. On August 10th, another engineer said that they are waiting for a car to be delivered.

Solution 2: Wait for support from Zerotier-One with DBUS

If you just want to connect between your devices, you don't need any hardware. Just install zerotier on them.

wget https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

cloudflared - Exposes local servers to the public internet over secure tunnels

Cloudflare Tunnel - Excellent free option. Nicely integrates tunneling with the rest of Cloudflare's products, which include DNS and auto HTTPS. Client source code is Apache 2.0 licensed and written in Golang.

I run a RaspberryPi 3 with FreeBSD 13 booting off an SD card and a USB SSD for storage [1]. Coincidentally today (1/7/2024) is its one year anniversary.

It runs a jail with my single user GotoSocial ActivityPub server [2] reasonably well with cloudflared [3] handling incoming traffic and acting as CDN to take some of the load. Originally it was only using an SD card, but there was too much IO contention so a USB-SSD adapter is used to offload the IO.

I choose FreeBSD over Linux since I have other Rpis with Linux already and wanted more experience with *BSD, jails, and ZFS. Unfortunately ZFS wasn't the best choice on an Rpi since it's more cpu intensive and switched back to UFS.

Overall it's been solid, multiple GTS updates and have it on my list to update to FreedBSD 14 but not really in a rush.

Something like cloudflared would be awesome. https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

if you're on windows, you can install it with the exe: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe (or https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-windows-386.exe if your using 32bit windows.)

So, the "more than one" issue is kind of discussed HERE and HERE but for sure, for whatever reason, this caused me sleepless nights.
