Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
Nebula
-
List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
Nebula - Peer-to-peer overlay network. Developed and used internally by Slack. Similar to Tailscale but completely open source. Doesn't use WireGuard. Written in Go.

JIT WireGuard
(I am a Nebula maintainer.) We recently merged support for gVisor-based services, although it's very new, and I don't know of much experimentation that's been done with it yet: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/pull/965

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Nebula, originally from Slack[0].
Wireguard rightly gets a lot of attention, but Nebula is a really simple and easy to deploy mesh network that is often overlooked.
It does lack a management GUI and that stuff is very much DIY.

Nebula is Not the Fastest Mesh VPN (But neither are any of the others)
Fair enough about the android mobile client... My use case only involves meshing linux appliances across various networks so we only need the nebula core binaries which are under MIT license

Nebula is an open-source and free-to-use modern C++ game engine
That's not at all confusing with Slack's Nebula. https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

A word of caution about Tailscale
Sounds like a bunch of your pain points are just related to needing an online CA or ICA. But, looking through the Nebula docs I don't know that it supports things like CRL addresses where you could host the CRL, or OCSP responders. Someone got support for an OCSP responder but never submitted a PR with completed code: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/issues/72

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Multi-clock Display, Networking Tools, Digital Forensics & More
Nebula is a scalable, cross-platform overlay networking tool focused on performance, simplicity, and security. This portable tool is equally adapted for linking a small number of computers or scaling to connect tens of thousands. It integrates encryption, security groups, certificates, and tunneling into a powerful, cohesive connectivity solution. Thanks for the recommendation go to jmeador42.

Would we still create Nebula today?
Replying to my own comment as I can no longer edit it:
The folks over at Slack had an interesting discussion regarding the the "battle of the VPNs" article published by Netmaker I sourced in my parent comment:
https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/discussions/911
-
Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
Interesting. I thought recognized the logo, apparently seems to be a commercial support offering of https://github.com/slackhq/nebula and they support the "nebula" iOS app. I had been using for nebula/defined in the past.

Which overlay network?
Nebula: Is super easy to get running. It uses an interesting angle, working on the service and not just the device level. Unfortunately their NAT support seems to be still quite problematic and I am not going to maintain all those forwarded ports manually. There is a PR to support PCP but even if that ever gets applied I am not sure how well that will play with older routers. While it should be battle proven at slack, the community seems to be not that active. It still has the in-house tool that just got released.

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++.

Is there a way to bind ZeroTier with the Android Blue Iris app?
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.

Setup a Local Wifi Lan
If you just want to connect between your devices, you don't need any hardware. Just install zerotier on them.
- VPN options for businesses (AzureAD, IdP, etc)
- [Self Hosted] Je suis sans voix pour des services comme TailScale, quel est l'inconvénient?
- Zerotier stops working after some time
What are some alternatives?
Netmaker - Netmaker makes networks with WireGuard. Netmaker automates fast, secure, and distributed virtual networks.
tailscale - The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.
netbird - Connect your devices into a single secure private WireGuard®-based mesh network with SSO/MFA and simple access controls.
tinc - a VPN daemon
cloudflared - Cloudflare Tunnel client (formerly Argo Tunnel)
headscale - An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server
Bypass_CGNAT - Wireguard setup to bypass CGNAT with a VPS
