Tailscale “just works”. Since I’ve set it up I’ve never really thought about using anything else. Adding new devices is seamless.
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.
Tailscale comes in my Synology packages and just works. Haven’t looked at zerotier yet.
I use zero tier just because I’m a noob and was unable to make tailgate work as a docker container, but Im testing now twingate and works pretty well.
I usually just VPN to my routers if possible. Point to point is feels more reliable than a hole-punching mesh or proxy. On the other hand, this seems to create an end-to-end secure tunnel.
