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.
- Battle of (selfhosted) VPNS: Which is the fastest? Wireguard vs Tailscale vs Zerotier vs Nebula vs Netmaker vs Tinc
-
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).
-
Remote Access to HomeLab (Networking)
Disadvantages: Limited to 50 hosts (you can host your own ZeroTier Controller using Ztncui for unlimited hosts: 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).

Is ZeroTier safe?
You can host your own authorization server. https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui

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
https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/blob/master/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.
-
Most efficient way to reliably get a message to every server in a network?
The catch is that I want this to be reliable and fault tolerant, so if some of the game servers in the network go down, the remaining online servers should still always be able to receive broadcasts from any other online server. The servers can also be in multiple geographic locations and I am planning on using a mesh overlay network like Nebula to connect them. Essentially each pair of online servers will likely have a secure link between them that goes directly through the underlying network.
