Nebula is Not the Fastest Mesh VPN (But neither are any of the others)
FYI, the Nebula Android app is source-available but not open-source.

Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
Hey me too and I fully agree! Nebula is super underrated in this market space. I use Nebula to connect my primary datacenter rack with a bunch of dedicated servers and VMs all together on an overlay network. This makes it easy for me to add Nomad client nodes quickly in different parts of the world and everything just works.
I actually use https://defined.net for a managed Nebula experience and it makes everything super easy to get going and the team is super helpful with the few issues that I have run into. The free tier is super generous with up to 100 hosts for free and you don't need a credit card to get started. I highly recommend checking it out.
- VPN options for businesses (AzureAD, IdP, etc)
- What are my options for establishing private connectivity to AWS without a dedicated on-premise network?

Which overlay network?
