(someone who went on rabbit hole trip through tsnet) It's not very visible (and not really user-accessible) but Tailscale supports connecting arbitrary wireguard peers into the network, and it's how mullvad integration works IIRC - got confirmation on twitter I think from apenwarr.

So yes, tailscale is compatible with wireguard, it's just not exposed by any of the major coordination servers other than mullvad integration in tailscale.com, but the clients will happily consume information about wireguard peers that do not run tailscale at all.

Now screaming internally because every router I've had that's supported Wireguard I wish I could have just joined into a tailnet directly for subnet routing... and I can't find anything else that just plays nice either.

  • PfSense and OPNsense both support Tailscale and can integrate it with their normal routing/firewall behavior. I think OpenWRT can as well but I haven't tried it.

    • I think those do it by running official tsilscale client.

      To get other tsnet clients to connect to non-tsnet client you need to provide the connection configuration through netmap from coordinator server
