    Alternatively, Squish [3] is a very polished and more elegant commercial testing tool that lets you record test-cases using a GUI tool and convert them into (ideally modularized) methods that verify object properties or compare (masked) screenshots of the GUI:

    They abstract away a lot of the functionality using the Gherkin [4] domain-specific language so that tests are easier to read at a high level (but you can still dig down into the underlying programmatic implementation).

    This is probably too much complexity for your use-case, but may provide some ideas or inspiration for what is possible.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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:

  • 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?
    6 projects | /r/selfhosted | 13 Jul 2023
    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.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing testing-samples and Nebula you can also consider the following projects:
