How do you use Tailscale? (sh.itjust.works)

I've read a lot of recommendations for tailscale and am on my way to try it out myself. Do you use Tailscale in the "normal" way or do you host your own Headscale server (as I'm planning to do)? Any pros and cons?

You can set up relay nodes in the Netmaker config, and enable them only for those nodes behind NAT that need relaying. I've generally had good experience with Netmaker—when it works, it works—but several times it auto-updated and wiped my network config in the process.

What is your experience with Netbird vs Netmaker?

Relays have become a pro feature in the last release. I tested them on netmaker.io SaaS version and they work but it defeats the purpose of selfhosting my VPN manager. You also need to have a good relay, for instance among GCP, Azure, Oracle and Vultr only the latter works because their VPS are not behind a NAT.

Netbird first of all is extremely resource hungry. In some occurrences completely hanged a 1 GB RAM VPS when I was testing. Even without trashing I had issues connecting many of my peers. It has to be said that it was surely my fault in some ways as netbird.io SaaS worked fine.

Thanks. I didn't realise you can't do relays anymore on the selfhosted version. That sucks...
