Hi thank you for helping me with my last issue (Sunlight remote desktop). Now I have encountered another issue VPN. I’d like to use Hamachi to play remotely with a friend (he’ll be using Moonlight to connect to my Linux PC) the problem is that he’s using a M1 Mac and Hamachi is not working on those. Maybe you guys have a better and open source alternative for Hamachi that’s also “easy” to setup and connect to.
Zerotier has been the best alternative in my experience.
ZeroTier pros:
- Exit nodes don’t break if I lose wifi for a moment
- Works with custom DNS setups out of the box
- Allow-LAN actually works on Android, rather, is the default
- No member limits for free
- No need to disown devices and putting them into tags to be able to set SSH ACLs
- Works out of the box with other overlay networks and VPNs
ZeroTier cons:
- No freemium tunneling feature
- No convenient browser-based SSH that only admins can use for some reason
- Not nearly as sexy
Candles are punching above their weight these days, it seems
On features ZeroTier > Tailscale, but the existance of headscale and ionscale brings me back all because ZeroTierOne is BSL, aka not FOSS.
