- nine_k 1y ago...and DNS, and host provisioning, and SSO, and RBAC, and other stuff you need to sell to enterprises.
- odo1242 1y agoWell, WireGuard and WebRTC, but yes. The real feature of Tailscale is being able to connect to devices without worrying about where they are.
- bradfitz 1y agoThere's no WebRTC in Tailscale.
- snapplebobapple 1y agoIsnt a derp server juat webrtc with minor changes?
- rollcat 1y agoYou don't need the whole of WebRTC for NAT traversal, TURN/STUN will do the job.
- homebrewer 1y agoYou might be confusing it with netbird, which is the 601st implementation of a mesh network that does use both WebRTC and WireGuard.
- odo1242 1y agoEdit: apparently it uses STUN/TURN but not WebRTC
- scosman 1y agoNat punch is a big part of it, but so is key management/sync, and configuration management.
- kiitos 1y agotailscale is a wrapper around wireguard in the same way that dropbox is a wrapper around rsync
