CVE-2022-41924 – tailscaled can be used to remotely execute code
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...

For CGNAT peers - is there an alternative which is open source and as simple to use as Tailscale?
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.

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

traceroute between two clients, server is always in the middle
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

Yet Another Mesh Overlay Tool
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

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.

Lost the ZeroTier network interface in Debian - How do I restore this?
Sounds like your install is hosed in some way. This is beyond my knowledge, you should take this to the Zerotier forum (they barely monitor Reddit, as the automated comment said). Or search GitHub, eg this guy might be having the same issue as you: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1856
