Made an alternative to Tailscale + Gluetun (self.selfhosted)

Hi all, I made a simple container to forward tailscale traffic towards a WireGuard interface, so that you can use your commercial VPN as an exit node. It's called tswg

https://github.com/stratself/tswg

Previously I also tried Gluetun + Tailscale like some guides suggested, but found it to be slow and the firewall too strict for direct connections. Tswg doesn't do much firewalling aside from wg-quick rules, and uses kernelspace networking which should improve performance. This enables direct connections to other Tailscale nodes too, so you can hook up with DNS apps like Pi-hole/AdguardHome.

I've shilled for this previously, but now I wanna promote with an actual post. Having tested on podman, I'd like to know if it also works on machines behind NATs and/or within Docker. Do be warned though that I'm a noob w.r.t. networking, and can't guarantee against IP leaks or other VPN-related problems. But I'd like to improve.

Let me know your thoughts and any issues encountered, and thank you all for reading
