I've been hearing about Yggdrasil for some time now, I'd like to dive into it a bit more but I don't really know where to start for practical stuff. Do you happen to have some personal success story with it, or could you please point me to some blog posts maybe?
Thanks and I apologize in advance for imposing on you.
My journey was: Wireguard (dropped because it is pain in the ass to configure and poor Windows support) -> Tailscale (dropped because it had RCEs at the time) -> Nebula (needs a separate service that issues host certificates, or manual clunky process) -> Yggdrasil. This was for personal stuff, but now I am also using it for my p2p GPU cloud startup (see https://borg.games/setup).
In comparison to other options I found Yggdrasil to be straightforward to setup:
3. Repeat on all machines (Android is supported, unsure about iOS)
Now they have access to each other and everyone else in Yggdrasil by their _permanent_ Yggdrasil IPv6 address (derived from PrivateKey in yggdrasil.conf).
OPTIONAL quality-of-life stuff:
4. add Listen entries to yggdrasil.conf and a corresponding port forward on your home router then use it as a peer for your out-of-home machines to avoid extra hop to public peers
5. Create a bunch of DNS AAAA (IPv6) at your favorite DNS provider to give your machines names
Extra bonus: they recently added userspace stack support, so you can embed Yggdrasil directly into your app, and use it as a SOCKS proxy: https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggstack
