WarpSpeed and Tailscale compared

Both use WireGuard but connect devices in different ways

Topic	WarpSpeed	Tailscale
Network layout	Every device connects to one server you own	Devices connect to each other in a mesh
Where users and keys live	Your server holds the users, devices, and keys	Tailscale's hosted coordination service exchanges keys and policy
Where traffic goes	Through your server only	Directly between devices, or through Tailscale's relays when a direct path fails
WireGuard software	The WireGuard built into the Linux kernel, unmodified	Tailscale's own fork of wireguard-go, inside its client
Apps on each device	The official open-source WireGuard apps	The Tailscale client
How users sign in	An email code, Google or GitHub, or SAML on Team and Business	An account with an identity provider
Address websites see	Your server's fixed public IP for every device	The device's own address, or an exit node you set up
