A question re. #wireguard
When I’m away from home I usually connect to my home (US) and my server (Europe). However sometimes (not always) the connection to my home is blocked, I don’t know if it is caused by my phone company or my ISP. I blame the latter, because the connection to my european server never fails.
I wonder if there is something I can do in those cases?
I guess I could try to redirect the traffic to use the european server as a proxy, but that would make things slower the 90% of the time this isn’t a problem. Also, this would require me to switch wireguard connections manually, which is not ideal, especially if I’m driving.
Another alternative would be tailscale (maybe with headscale), but I’d rather keep my infrstructure as wireguard only.
Any ideas? cc @[email protected] @[email protected]
@[email protected] Tailscale is way more than WireGuard but ok
Friend…Tailscale uses the same Wireguard protocol as everything else. If Tailscale is working, but your solo configs aren’t, it’s not a Wireguard problem, it’s a config problem. Guaranteed.

I never said my config is not working, I said sometimes (some cellular connections, but not all) it is not working, that is a huge difference.
I highly recommend you educate yourself a bit https://tailscale.com/compare/wireguard

TLDR
Tailscale is built on TOP of Wireguard, but has a few goodies that Wireguard doesn’t provide.
Lol. You just don’t get it.
@[email protected] OK 🤷♂️
