"things" ?
Things. I have tailscale running on a lot of devices. Servers, workstations, raspberry pi, various other appliances, SFPs.
You are running tailscale on an SFP???

#12Why wouldn’t you just run ssh -D to the remote machine? The effect is the same and you don’t need wire guard or wire proxy.

Presumably you'd use it on a machine that doesn't expose SSH. That said, I really like sshuttle for this use case when SSH is available.

#15Excellent. I've been wanting something like this for a while to use with Mullvad, but had to resort to docker containers instead. This plays well with proxychains to make proxy-naive programs use SOCKS5 proxies.
Mullvad exposes socks proxies over wireguard.

I made it because my friends and I use wireguard to have a private network, and they don't feel comfortable running a ssh server on their machines. It can also be used with a vpn provider like Mullvad without setting up a new nic or requiring special privs.

I had to look it up:

#18Why wouldn’t you just run ssh -D to the remote machine? The effect is the same and you don’t need wire guard or wire proxy.
One simple reason is that the serverside might not want to expose a shell to its clients, and instead just provide network connectivity; you can configure something like that with SSH, but it's a pain, and WireGuard is approximately as simple to set up as SSH, which is the primary reason it's so popular.

What about it? WireGuard uses UDP. You don't need privileges to open up a UDP socket.
