Which is odd, lots of 'Hello world' demonstrations coming out of Tailscale but in this case we have a personal user wanting to connect to a server with a public IP - this is easily setup using Wireguard as it is. What benefit do I get creating a gmail account and going through Tailscale?
I still prefer Wireguard or Zerotier depending on my own use cases - I don't see how tailscale adds value (for me)
- vhodges 6y agoTailscale IS wireguard underneath. And it's painless. I mean really painless. My network is small (Arch Linux, MBP and an android phone) right now but will be adding my wifes machines soon. I am Planning to run dnsmasq (my next project). Tailscale has 'MagicDNS' but doesn't (yet?) support aliases, which is nice for hosted services (eg photos.domain.vpn) I will be running self hosted services that we use and available anywhere in the world (with a connection) that I don't need a VPS for. I am waiting for broader availability of their sharing feature: my extended family can each have their own networks and then I can expose self hosted services to them (ie photos, recipes, updates/posts, etc).
- msh 6y agotailscale is more or less zerotier, just based on wireguard. So it would give you most of the same benifits. In this case I think the advantage is that minecraft server dont have to listen to a public ip adress.
- carlhjerpe 6y agoZeroTier is L2 while WireGuard is L3. That's a HUGE difference between the two. Unless TailScale is doing VXLAN over WireGuard or something fishy to move L2 around.
