Surpassing 10Gb/S over Tailscale

Tailscale is awesome, so damn recommended. Taildrop (AirDrop for everything, included in Tailscale) is especially recommended, it makes it so damn easy to send files between all your devices.

Pretty amazing that you can achieve such a throughput in a Golang userspace program. I wonder if other UDP based protocols like QUIC can attain those numbers as well.

I’ve really wanted to try tailscale. I fear I’ll like it, and I don’t want another company to have a monopoly on simple things so everyone forgets how to do them.

I don't think I'd classify their zero-config p2p-style VPN as "simple" -- or at least, certainly not simple to replicate...

More to the point, I hope their technology becomes commonplace & gratis a la LetsEncrypt for SSL Certificates.

I mean, setting up a WireGuard vpn is pretty darn simple, even into a k8s cluster. It’s not rocket science or anything; which is kinda my point. They make it too easy, and that worries me.

Slack has a system called Nebula that's pretty adjacent to userspace WireGuard.
