I've always been on the outside looking in, so I've never used Tailscale or its open-source brethren.
Would this service be comparable to Headscale[0]?

VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.
Project mention: Webtop – Alpine,Ubuntu,Fedora,and Arch containers containing full desktop envs | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-13I've been using the LSIO Webtop images for a few years. They're awesome for composable desktops that I run behind a VPN for a quick and easy dirty connection at home.
Combine the Webtop images by forcing it's traffic through the Gluetun [0] container and you're up and running. These Webtop containers are nice and snappy as well thanks to Kasm. Awesome OSS.

Project mention: Httptap: View HTTP/HTTPS requests made by any Linux program | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-03
Interesting. Care to share any info about your setup? Would it be a matter of httptap reading a certain environment variable and then forwarding traffic to a SOCKS proxy?
FWIW there is also the excellent tun2socks (https://github.com/xjasonlyu/tun2socks), which was a significant inspiration for this project, and is specifically designed to forward traffic from a TUN device to a SOCKS proxy.
