> If it needs to go through a DERP server, then it may suffer but in my experience that’s pretty rare.

It's semi-frequent in my case, and it's painful every time it does that since Tailscale's official DERP servers are very slow (they seem to have some aggressive QoS). It would be nice if Tailscale supported using regular TURN servers so I could just use one of the hosted solutions.

You can self-host DERP if you're up for it.

  • Yep and most of us are already using Subnet routers it's not technically much harder.

    Finding a cloud or VPS provider with free or cheap bandwidth (egress and ingress) is likely the biggest issue.
