Managing the wg.conf is a colossal PITA, especially if I'm trying to like provision a new client and don't have access to my main laptop. It's crying out for a CRUD app on top of it, and I think tailscale is basically that plus a little. The value add seems obvious.

Also plex is way more than sugar on top of file sharing; it's like filesharing, media management, and a CDN rolled into one product. Soulseek isn't going to handle transcoding for you.

I use Tailscale for exactly those reasons, plus the easy SSL certificates and clients for Android and iOS.

From this thread, I've learned about Pangolin:

https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin

Which seems very compelling to me too. If it has apps that allow various devices connect to the VPN it might be worth it to me to trial using it instead of Tailscale...
