Making Tailscale Faster

    I used to LOVE tailscale. Then I put wireguard on my home network exposed to the internet with a dynamic DNS provider and it immediately became irrelevant. Not only is raw wireguard more stable (I don't have to fight the DNS issues on my mobile phones) it feels faster and is amazingly simple to set up.

      It all depends on the use case…I have two raspberry units running as exit nodes back in my home country, one in my mother’s place and another in my in-laws’. They have regular internet providers routers, and at least one of the routers wouldn’t even be able to properly support port forwarding.

      Tailscale allowed me to setup everything at home and just plug them to their network in 5 mins.
