Tailscale
WireGuard-based mesh VPN with automatic key management.
Tailscale builds a peer-to-peer encrypted mesh between machines using WireGuard for the data plane and a coordination server for key exchange and discovery. Each device gets a stable private IP; access control is enforced by ACLs defined on the coordinator.
It is widely used on Linux for connecting personal devices, home labs, and small-to-medium business networks without the operational overhead of running a traditional VPN. Headscale is a compatible open-source coordination server.
