Which overlay network?

• headscale

  221 19,553 9.2 Go

  An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

Tailscale: Seems to have quite good NAT support and seems to do DNS resolution. Clients for most relevant platform - a well rounded package. But I find their plans to be prohibitive. Only 20 devices on the free plan. The first paid tier is 5 devices per 1 user, so 5 devices for me paying? A head scratcher. There is an open source control plane https://github.com/juanfont/headscale but given the clients are not open source it feels a bit scary to rely on. My knowledge of wireguard is not good enough, but I am also wondering if it is really meant for a mesh setup?

  140 13,717 8.6 Go

  A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security

  

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.
