Sounds like your setup is working for you, however just so you know tailscale solves this exact problem without requiring you to run an ec2 server and adds all kinds of niceties like ACLs, magic dns, designating exit nodes, etc. It’s super simple to setup as well. No affiliation just a happy user.
- ravenstine 4y agoHaven't used Tailscale, but it sounds like a pretty good service. I think something like that can be the right way to go for people who really want minimal hassle and configuration. The app also looks really good. Yggdrasil is pretty dang easy, though. If you don't have your own clearnet peer, there's plenty of public peers on the main net to use. I just prefer using my own peer because I don't intend on sharing my network with other parties. The EC2 server isn't hard to setup and costs peanuts to run. Everything else basically just works as long as you have one or more peers configured. I haven't had a situation where I couldn't get it to work in a few minutes. > designating exit nodes As far as I'm aware, that's not a feature of Yggrasil. My understanding is if the IP for a connection falls out of its range (it uses some deprecated range of IPv6 addresses that are technically still valid), it just passes it through without treating it like a potential peer.
