The title of this post should be "PQConnect", or "PQConnect: Automated Post-Quantum End-to-End Tunnels" (from the paper). The editorialized title here now stiffs the guy who actually wrote the software.

This looks like basically a McEliece/SNTRUP version of Colin Percival's spiped.

Doesn't sound a lot different than Tailscale co-option (commercially) of Wireguard?

Does Tailscale support opportunistic use so that other people running Tailscale will transparently use it when they connect to you?

Also, "Today, Tailscale's WireGuard implementation is not post-quantum secure" (from https://tailscale.com/kb/1460/post-quantum-cryptography)
