I'm guessing that most people reading this are not familiar with some of the other options available for this kind of thing. In particular, they likely don't know about Sonobus:
(and that's likely because it's libre software and the developer doesn't really do marketing)

Project mention: I created a small game. Is it possible to make it multiplayer with ZeroTier? | reddit.com/r/zerotier | 2021-11-28
Basically you have to make it work within the LAN yourself, then you can use Zerotier (or even libzt) to make it work over the internet.

Project mention: aquatic BitTorrent tracker: WebTorrent support (1.8M responses/second); new UDP benchmarks (650k rps) | reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-08-23
I did some benchmarks with my load testing tool and got very encouraging results: 1.8M tracker responses per second when using 14 threads, compared to a maximum of 117k responses per second for closest competitor wt-tracker. I suspect that the openwebtorrent tracker would be a lot closer in performance to aquatic, but since it only runs over TLS, I couldn’t test it, as the load tester doesn’t support it. More info on the benchmark (PDF).
