Yggdrasil Network
Not sure how recent you are framing in your question, but the go implementation also runs on OpenWRT, in case you want to try it out.

Tinc, a GPLv2 mesh routing VPN
> The next version will make it much simpler to deploy isolated networks by using TLS roots to prevent accidental peerings.
Is that PR #1038 [1]? Any info on how to use that feature and whether it works over multicast as well?
I noticed this PR uses SHA-1 for matching fingerprints. SHA-1 has been broken for 13 years now. Is it possible to use something more secure?
> It's also worth noting that Yggdrasil doesn't have the equivalent of "peer exchange" — only directly connected peers would ever find out your public IP address. Yggdrasil will not form new peerings automatically, with the single exception being multicast-discovered nodes on the same LAN.
Right, my worry is that by having a server with a public IPv4 address and Yggdrasil running on an open port (so that my other nodes can connect to it) will allow someone to connect to it (either on purpose or accidentally) and cause my traffic to route over their node(s) and/or the public mesh.
Thanks!

Tailscale/golink: A private shortlink service for tailnets
From a purely networking perspective, there are far better solutions than tailscale.
Have a look at full mesh VPNs like:
https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
https://github.com/gsliepen/tinc
https://github.com/costela/wesher
These build actual mesh networks where every node is equal and can serve as a router for other nodes to resolve difficult network topologies (where some nodes might not be connected to the internet, but do have connections to other nodes with an internet connection).
Sending data through multiple routers is also possible. They also deal with nodes disappearing and change routes accordingly.
tailscale (and similar solutions like netbird) still use a bunch of "proxy servers" for that. You can set them up on intermediate nodes, but that have to be dealt with manually (and you get two kinds of nodes).

The Iran Firewall: A preliminary report
The only real solution long-term is completely peer-to-peer ad-hoc networking that doesn't depend on BGP.
A few projects are in similar territory but none I've seen are working at the layer of bypassing BGP. Many are just acting as an overlay; which works to an extent. https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
It's probably begging for a different model of the "internet" and where data lives.
My requirements:
1. Offline-first applications that sync via a pub/sub DHT of trusted peers. More details here but basically allows bypassing BGP.
