Tailscale

WireGuard mesh networking with zero configuration.

Visit Tailscale Freemium

Tailscale builds a private mesh network between your devices using WireGuard, with NAT traversal and key distribution handled automatically. It is the easiest way to reach a home server or a cloud VM from anywhere without exposing ports. The free tier covers a small number of devices and users.

Where it falls short

It depends on a coordination server, which is a single point of dependency, though self-hosting the control plane is possible.
