Tailscale touts all the perf benefits of the wireguard protocol but in practice between the userland wireguard that seems to be used all the time on all platform (even linux) and the over reliance on DERP, it has none of the performance benefits of the real thing.
- miki123211 1y agoThey also seem to be needlessly doing DERP over TCP in some cases where UDP would actually work.
- diegs 1y agoI thought they vastly improved user-space wireguard performance? https://tailscale.com/blog/more-throughput https://tailscale.com/blog/more-throughput Not sure if the kernel implementation pulled ahead again, I don't really follow these things. Also not defending tailscale, I respect them but I agree they are a one size fits some solution.
