Wow! Does it also solve the issue where Tailscale coordination servers geo-block certain countries from using tailnet? I guess coordination servers are replaced with Nostr relays in your implementation.
That’s a great idea I recently did. Similar thing with sync thing after getting annoyed at UX :)

Eh... seems like a great way to get exploited. Try out pangolin instead

Tailscale / headscale / Nostr VPN solve connections between changing IP addresses behind NATs. Nostr VPN doesnt have a TURN server though, so doesn't work in cases where NAT hole punching fails.

Nebula seems similar, but uses its own keys and lookup servers instead of nostr relays
This is what I wanted to build, but unfortunately one of my wants was to also connect my android and others' iphones but... WITHOUT preventing them from also using a VPN. I want for what one cannot have.
Umm true, when changing IPs it's kinda annoying, and having a dynamic DNS from third parties looses self hosting, I was just curious to ask 🫡 I usually liked the no-ip service as another option, it's simple enough and easy to use 😸

Fips looks very interesting, will take a look. I was thinking of doing something similar. However, Nostr VPN is a private network tool, yggdrasil and fips are open meshes.
I'm geek enough to use wireguard directly but the couple of times I used Tailscale it felt like magical, but I was also annoyed by this third party account requirement (that is not really justified).

Trying to 10k zap this but it’s the first time I’m using primal wallet and it did 42 sats apparently but won’t do 10k or 9950…. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for making a cool nostr tailscale alternative! Keep building and I’ll keep zapping! ⚡️(if I can get the damn thing to work)

Fips requires some nodes being reachable through port forwarding (or similar). Does nostr-vpn allow for a "magical experience" similar to Tailscale? 🤔 image
Can you set an exist node for all connected devices? This is a really important attribute for privacy given that you're very likely outgoing connections from the connected devices.

Holy shit balls!!! I can get rid of headscale?
​O fim da dependência de terceiros. Usar o Nostr para sinalizar VPN via WireGuard é o puro suco da soberania digital. Sem contas, sem KYC, apenas chaves. #português #brasil #portugal #lusofonia #tecnologia #privacidade #viralbrasil #viralportugal Got annoyed by Tailscale requiring 3rd party accounts, so created Nostr VPN. It signals over nostr relays and creates a wireguard / boringtun network. Builds for Macos and Linux. Using it between my Macs, but haven't tested extensively yet. image

"Hope you've registered and create qfs account and connected it to recommended web3 ledger for ongoing pension payments using XLM and XRP."?
great stack gui on mac is cool smooth. try to create mesh with my nixos, wireguard doesnt want to come up and boring tunnel interface wg0 transfer nothing. tried to see if udp packets arrive it does via tcpdump i can see it but still no grean signal. What i am doing wrong?
