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.

I've tried Zerotier before and it doesn't hold a candle to Tailscale.

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.

Yeah, that's a pretty huge con honestly.

My sheer frustration with all this tiny to grievous papercuts with Tailscale years on got the best of me— Even the Android Magic DNS bug only got fixed last month. But hey, I'm still using it, instead of ZeroTier so that's something :D
