Hi, so been working on this for a week but not really happy with the solutions I find as they seem to be done by induviduals who rely heavily on ai. I got wireguard easy going and can remotly connect which is great but id love to be able to route any internet traffic to and from the wireguard clients to go though another server while filtering my local onsite services. Felt that if i can crack this i dont need to rely on tailscale. The end goal is to have no reliance on tailscale as i am preparing for the eventual enshitification.
Tailscale is mostly open-source. If they do anything bad then someone could fork the project. The coordination server isn’t open-source, but you could self-host Headscale as a replacement.
If it still doesn’t suit your use cases, there’s some alternatives.
I personally wouldn’t directly deal with iptables or nftables rules, and instead use some other software to deal with that.
