I’ve been running WireGuard for years and it’s been solid. Lately, there’s a whole cottage industry of projects trying to slap a shiny GUI on WireGuard to make it “easy” for non-tech people. Tailscale is the one everyone won’t shut up about, so I decided to check it out.
Verdict: total letdown. It was more annoying to set up than plain WireGuard, and it forces you to use some third-party login. Maybe that makes sense in a corporate hellscape, but certainly not for my self-hosted stuff.
