It's been working well for me as a kind of poor-man's tailscale, connecting several VPS and several laptops.

I considered using Tailscale, but at the end of the day Yggdrasil is more inspiring to me. I like the idea of a network with no central authority delegating addresses. I hope that it takes off beyond just an overlay network. I'd be curious to try running it directly over some physical link without IP. Imagine if the world ran on something like Yggdrasil: anyone could plug in and get a publicly routable address. I think it would be great for decentralization and the open internet.

I share that sentiment. I've thought about combining yggdrasil with garage to create a sort of plug-and-play distributed storage pool shared with a trusted circle.

Though I wonder if the network routing would break down beyond a certain scale, or if it can be resilient against attacks. I don't know enough about the inner workings to be determine the weak points.

Mmh, I heard that one before... It's one of the main points for ipv6 ( ･ั ﹏･ั )

		yes exactly, that's why yggdrasil uses ipv6

		Yes, except IPv6 still has central authorities, no? I can't just generate an identity, connect to a peer and be on the global network right?
