Tailscale is an open-source zero-configuration VPN and networking solution that makes it simple to create secure, private networks across devices by leveraging WireGuard under the hood. It lets users connect computers, servers, mobile devices, and cloud instances together with peer-to-peer encrypted tunnels without dealing with complex firewalls, NAT rules, or key distribution headaches. Instead of traditional VPN server infrastructure, Tailscale uses a coordination service to authenticate devices and exchange connection information, enabling automatic NAT traversal and minimal manual setup. ...

...When executed, the program creates a virtual network interface that can be configured using standard networking tools such as wg and ip, closely mirroring the behavior of kernel implementations. The software is part of the broader WireGuard ecosystem, which aims to deliver a fast, simple, and modern VPN built on state-of-the-art cryptography. Because it runs in user space, wireguard-go is especially useful for platforms like macOS, Windows, or restricted environments where kernel modules are unavailable.

...From a user perspective, cunīcu alleviates the need of manual configuration such as exchange of public keys, IP addresses, endpoints, etc.. Hence, it adopts the design goals of the WireGuard project, to be simple and easy to use. Thanks to Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE), cunīcu is capable of establishing direct connections between peers that are located behind NAT firewalls such as home routers. In situations where ICE fails, or direct UDP connectivity is not available, cunīcu falls back to using TURN relays to reroute traffic over an intermediate hop or encapsulate the WireGuard traffic via TURN-TCP.
