Tailscale/Wireguard helps give consistent IPs

• deathanatos 4y ago
  Wireguard is the same problem, just with a layer of indirection. (I've tried WG exactly to try to simplify the networking!) Now instead of SSH connecting, it's Wireguard. You can make some headway with this, but it's a bit painful. You need some fixed presence on the Internet, somewhere, like a server. That can be done, but now you're setting up routing, etc. Or paying Tailscale. It rubs me a bit of the wrong way, since the ISPs job was to provide end-to-end connectivity, and ISPs as a whole are falling down on that … I shouldn't need to build a shadow network in the IPv6 private space … (And again, we breach the "it isn't worth it" complexity barrier for a cross machine clipboard transfer…)

    Tailscale has “MagicDNS” that fixes the host name problem (for free) - https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/
