• Does anyone use Anywherelan?

  Anywherelan (styled AWL) is a direct peer-to peer-to-peer LAN solution for self-hosting and accessing services remotely without a server infrastructure. Tailscale connections require an account identity (or OAuth authentication through services run by Google, Microsoft, etc.) I currently use it because it’s codebase is open, and there are self-hosted forks (that I have considered as a future fallback), and it is dead easy to set up and use.
