You said " it's nonsensical to say tailscale works in places where wireguard is blocked".

If by "blocked" you mean "blocked at the firewall level through some kind of adaptive block that will recognize a wireguard connection based on its behaviour/nature of packets/whatever" → then yes, of course tailscale will not work either as it uses wg under the hood.

If the OP message "tailscale has a much better chance to work when you need it most. WireGuard is blocked by too much stuff" means "I installed wireguard and it does not work (because whatever) but tailscale consistently delivers" → then it is not nonsensical at all. It is the right tool to start with.

> Tailscale themselves actually have an incredibly indepth article on how they've implemented it on their end

This is an excellent documentation to which I refer people as well.
