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.

Ask HN: What's the Deal with Tailscale?
> they actively went after third party coordination servers, wherenas I hear headscale mentioned by tailscale employees all the time.
ZeroTier founder here. We never did anything remotely like that, so I'm curious about where you heard that.
We did adjust our licensing to counter people attempting to take the product, slap their own name on it, and monetize it without supporting us, but we are strongly considering going back to a more liberal license in the near future. In any case we didn't "go after" anyone, just limited commercial closed source use in a manner not unlike the AGPL. We never filed any kind of lawsuits about this or anything.
We also regularly promote third party open source products like this:
https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui
We've never had an issue with non-commercial or FOSS usage.

Selfhosted wireguard vs zerotier (or similar) what is best in terms of security
If you have a VPN somewhere, you could also try Nebula (https://www.defined.net/nebula/) or self-host the management server for Tailscale (https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) or zerotier (https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui).
-
You should know about using ZeroTier or Tailscale as an easier approach to secure all your connections, while being easier infrastructure-wise than VPN
You can self host a controller of adding/removing devices and all ( https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui ), but it has an upstream connection to their managed services, it’s how the apps and all keep working.

Free plan member limit per network or overall?
There are a couple of Options out there that make controlling the controller easier, either through WEB Guis: https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui https://github.com/dec0dOS/zero-ui
- Headscale: Open-source implementation of the Tailscale control server

ZeroTier – Global Area Networking
Every zerotier node ships with the CLI network controller, but someone wrote a simple GUI for it and that is on docker.
-
ZeroUI - ZeroTier Controller Web UI - is a web user interface for a self-hosted ZeroTier network controller. ZTNCUI alternative.
ZeroUI implements controller-specific workarounds that address some existing [issues](https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/859). ZTNCUI [does not](https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui/issues/63).

Headscale: Open-source implementation of the Tailscale control server
Nebula is great - super simple to set up and get started if you have a VM to use as a lighthouse. Lots of cloud providers free tiers are have enough resources to host a lighthouse as well.
Certificate management is its one weakness at the moment. There are a growing number of projects floating around attempting to solve that though:
-
Tailscale free for open source projects
As other have suggested, Nebula (https://github.com/slackhq/nebula) is pretty elegant. It has groups-based access built in which is extremely convenient.
You can bolt-on SSO fairly easily - just create a certificate signing service. I created https://github.com/unreality/nebula-mesh-admin in a weekend, so its fairly easy to add a SSO flow in.
What are some alternatives?
zero-ui - ZeroUI - ZeroTier Controller Web UI - is a web user interface for a self-hosted ZeroTier network controller.
