The Subtle Magic of Tsnet

I see a lot of mention of folks of using tailscale for their friend group to access stuff.. but the free plan seems to max out at 3 users, with an exception for foss projects.

What am I missing? How do I use tailscale for my 10ish friends and me to play minecraft without paying hundreds a year?

Tailscalar/talk author here. Set up a GitHub org. That has a 25 user limit for free. That's what my husband and I use (our tailnet predates the new free plan details here: https://tailscale.com/blog/pricing-v3/).

I do not really see this. On a new github organization tailscale account i only see three users only. Maybe you were grandfathered that plan...?

Have each person create their own account, and share nodes: https://tailscale.com/kb/1084/sharing/

I’ve been playing with Netbird lately and it’s been working well. They have a free plan for up to 20 nodes, and a self hosted option if you want to eject from their cloud offering.

Netbird looks like a great option. Thanks!

Yeah having all my users have to be on github or sign up for a third service is a non-starter, but plain wireguard is just a bit much. Netbird looks like a good path.
