The Android client seems to be open source. No idea why the iOS/other ones aren’t. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android

Something like Tailscale that creates a mesh VPN using an external relay to pass packets between the two isolated devices. The Tailscale app has a few useful intents to turn in on and off. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android/commit/51a53e54721fdb513d3c9331ae8e75a4b56a7cd2

NetBird is a configuration-free, peer-to-peer private network combined with a centralized access control system. Utilizing a WireGuard-based overlay network, it ensures encrypted connections between machines without the need for complex configurations such as port openings, intricate firewall rules, or VPN gateways. Prioritizes security with intuitive management of granular access policies for secure remote access, applicable universally across any infrastructure. petr205 explains, "Their SaaS version is free up to 100 machines and 5 users, but the self-hosted version is exactly the same and has very low requirements."

It is always great to see another solution using Wireguard, which is a great technology for modern private connectivity.

I built https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird, which can be self-hosted and offers an option to run Wireguard without managing firewalls for P2P connectivity.
