    I first tried zerotier but ran into some weird issue…don’t recall what it is now…and then tried tailscale and was up and running in like 15 mins. But I see others have had the absolutely opposite experience from mine where tailscale wouldn’t work and zerotier would. I think they’re both great products.

    I’ve been using Tailscale because I like the business model they’ve been pushing. They’ve also followed through with that, expanding what the free tier of their service offers instead of restricting it more.

    Although possibly biased, Tailscale has a write up comparing the two and the conclusion is that both are good at accomplishing their goals. If you have a technology or business preference, it could mostly come down to that. https://tailscale.com/compare/zerotier/

      Also a big fan of Tailscale. Works well out of the box and they have great documentation.

      I’ll also throw out its nice to see many of their articles comparing services don’t end with a simple “We’re better!” but a “pick whats best for your use case.” Makes them look a lot better imo.

      I can’t believe I’m hearing so much support for non-selfhosted stuff. What’s next, you’re going to promote Plex?

      I thought this was the selfhosted community

          Also Plex is a staple of the self hosted community (though I prefer Jellyfin.) I’m wondering if they’ve confused self hosting and FOSS somehow

              The identity service is not self hosted then. But the rest of Plex literally is. You can self host Gitea and use a third party service like openID for authentication too if you want to. Just because you self host some things doesn’t mean you HAVE to self host EVERYTHING

    Tailscale “just works”. Since I’ve set it up I’ve never really thought about using anything else. Adding new devices is seamless.

    I’ve been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.
