innernet VS wgsd

Innernet is a barebone alternative. https://github.com/tonarino/innernet

Very relatable! At first, I struggled for days trying to make Netmaker or Innernet functional for my personal home server (Raspberry Pi behind multiple routers). But then I stumbled upon ZeroTier, and everything worked seamlessly within a couple of hours. Tailscale was actually the next one on my list because I heard many positive things about it over at r/selfhosted (especially about headscale). However, I did not end up testing it after ZeroTier worked.

Not if you are running wireguard without any management client/server like Netmaker or innernet or any of the many others like them.

I use the GCP free instance as my innernet coordination server (Wireguard mesh vpn). Which is extremely low traffic.

Or why not the open source tool innernet? https://github.com/tonarino/innernet

I wonder if this might improve over a more modern transport, if you were using an IPSec VPN.

Wireguard is enabling us to re-think what's possible over a VPN. Here's an example of what I mean. The network stack is based on Wireguard, with https://github.com/tonarino/innernet providing the topology and identity provisioning.

Virtual Private Network: Innernet, MASQ

if your looking at setting up coredns aswell then i would highly suggest checking out wgsd https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd

https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd does NAT traversal with Wireguard, but you need to operate a CoreDNS server to do it.

More info on how it works: https://www.jordanwhited.com/posts/wireguard-endpoint-discov...

Another one which looks promising is wgsd, a dns like plugin to discover peer's endpoints that sit behind a NAT. For me this is part of the solution, however not a complete one, as my client devices are also on Android and Android TV.

that guide is literally someone promoting their CoreDNS plugin, so I'm confused as to what you mean: https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd

If they are behind a NAT that you can't do port-forwarding on then you may need to run some additional software like https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd so 10.10.0.2 and 10.10.0.3 know where to look for each other by asking 10.10.0.1

Our current implementation just has the nodes configured with PersistentKeepAlive by default, which works well enough for our small setup. In future iterations our plan is to incorporate another service. Our inclination is to use WGSD: https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd
