Sounds like in Narrowlink as a proxy passes through all traffic as it's not peer-to-peer? As a home lab with it deployed on a VPS the bandwidth rates/caps could be significant. Granted residential lSP can run into caps as well.

#12> However, tailscale focuses on access different devices to each other, while Narrowlink focuses on access to the services trough on the agent as a proxy. You can easily do the same thing with Tailscale: https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/ .
What does the sentence you quoted even mean? This reads like a rough first draft that needs to be clarified. I don't get it at all.
Re: Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
#13I started reading through the Narrowlink URL, but the frequency of typos was frustrating enough the I came right back to HackerNews to read the comments and synopsis of what the kerfuffle is about.
Thanks for the pointer to headscale - will take a look ;)
Re: Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
#14This article is classic SEO fluff right? The Q&A style answering exactly the type of questions that people comparing the two would write into google search.
It's not exactly a new idea. If it works for SEO this is probably just a case where search engines are doing what you'd expect.

#15Don't forget Nebula[1]. [1] https://slack.engineering/introducing-nebula-the-open-source...
Used Nebula to build a cross-cloud Nomad cluster, very underrated and does 99% of what you'd want from Tailscale.
Re: Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
#16Definitely interested in this, however:
>Narrowlink uses a centralized gateway that clients and agents connect to over HTTP/S protocols
Tunneling TCP over TCP will undoubtedly result in poor network performance. This is why WireGuard is UDP-only.

#17Netmaker[1] is another player in the space
Re: Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
#18For people for which the SaaSiness of Tailscale would be the main deciding factor, it is important to note that this article completely fails to mention Headscale, a BSD-licenced tailscale-compatible coordination server under active development
We tried switching to Headscale recently...it was not a pleasant experience. I'm sure with more time in the oven, it will eventually become a comparable replacement, but I wouldn't be relying on it for anything production oriented.
Re: Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
#19Seems Narrowlink is tunneling at socket level; while Tailscale is tunneling at network / IP level.
I think they are comparing apple to orange here.

Interesting, I am using it in some limited production capacities and it works fine, what kind of issues are you seeing?
The interface is a bit clunky but the service (both agent and control plane) are rock solid for me.
