I started off using tinc before wireguard existed, and now use both. Tinc provides a guaranteed full connectivity graph with indirect routing, nat punching, and local subnet discovery as needed. Wireguard is much more performant (eg it can be used to secure nfs without kerberos). Eventually someone will write a daemon for wireguard that provides tinc's features, but until then they are complimentary. I use wireguard between routers to carry full subnets, and tinc is setup on individual hosts to provide fallback access.

Have you tried Tailscale?

No... I'm not really interested in proprietary software, especially as security-critical foundation.

I would normally agree, but I trust both apenwarr and bradfitz. And Tailscale rocks.

Fair enough
