tailscale supports something similar. I use it, inside CI runner jobs, to enable network access to things behind firewalls/nat. Really great solution.

"things" ?

Things.

I have tailscale running on a lot of devices.

Servers, workstations, raspberry pi, various other appliances, SFPs.

I had to look it up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_form-factor_pluggable_...

Yes that is what they are, But what SFP actually has the ability to be programmable to the degree that is needed to support Wireguard??

This SFP has an embedded ARM processor running Linux. It’s pretty meta, but one could imagine a wireguard control network for these. The article even describes using wireguard-go on the embedded side.
