hamachi alternative (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi thank you for helping me with my last issue (Sunlight remote desktop). Now I have encountered another issue VPN. I'd like to use Hamachi to play remotely with a friend (he'll be using Moonlight to connect to my Linux PC) the problem is that he's using a M1 Mac and Hamachi is not working on those. Maybe you guys have a better and open source alternative for Hamachi that's also "easy" to setup and connect to.

You could try Tinc but it's fairly involved to get running. Pretty nice if you have a root server and want to get several people wired up, though. There are probably easier solutions for your use case.

Tinc is terrible

It's awful to setup, and hasn't been updated in years. Anything Wireguard, or Wireguard-based will be lightyears better.

Good to know. We initially set that network up well over a decade ago so my knowledge isn't exactly current.

It's a shame Tinc hasn't had a release, because 1.1 made it much easier to set up, and is what I used before switching to Headscale. I'd actually go back to it if 1.1 got officially released =P

Wireguard is even easier

Eh. 1.1 made it as easy as running a command on both machines (A lot like how Tailscale does it)
