I don't know if I'm just being stupid about this or not, but i find myself pulling away from tailscale. I don't know .. The abstraction been dope, but when things breaks it adds a bit of complexity. I guess any other thing would be the same. I just slapped this thing everywhere and it's sort of getting old! Starting to remove a lot of it.

@train I'm using it with Headscale and it seems fairly stable in most cases, but I'm starting to investigate ZeroTier because it's a layer 2 solution which handles things like UDP and (theoretically, haven't tried this) broadcast traffic.

I haven't set up my own coordination server for ZeroTier yet but that's on the docket, I absolutely will not use the company's system long term, same with Tailscale or any other such entity. being able to self-host the coordination server is a hard requirement for me.

@train same, sort of. In my most recent revamp I have TS doing management-layer stuff (deploys and metrics collection) but primary access is almost entirely on the local network. External ingress proxies (at Fly and a Vultur VPS) also use local network addresses via a subnet router.
@zrail I like this operational mode! I literally slapped this thing everywhere. It didn’t hit the same I guess.
@train maybe try out netbird (https://netbird.io).
NetBird - Open Source Zero Trust Networking

WireGuard®-based overlay network and Zero Trust Network Access in one platform for reliable and secure connectivity

@train what’s an example? So I know what to avoid doing 🤣
