> You can use it for pretty much anything you would use a VPN for, but it is much easier to configure

Ease of configuration is very much also a feature of the finest VPN software I've ever used, Wireguard.






Wireguard is absolutely great for its use case!

Mycoria aims to interconnect participants. Eg. you and your friend all have their home server. Everyone wants to connect to their own server, but also to the server of their friends. All of this is super easy with Mycoria. Let a new friend install Mycoria, add them to your friends in the config and give them a URL for accessing. Voila!

Also, Mycoria is an automatic mesh network, I think Wireguard requires a fixed set of peers you configure.


> Wireguard requires a fixed set of peers you configure

Not really. One can add as many peers (though there's a artificial limit to just how many, I think) at runtime. It isn't fixed. Products like Tailscale couldn't be built otherwise.


I understand what you mean. Yes, the technology can do that. I was thinking about the WireGuard as a software in itself.

You certainly can add an remove peers from your Wireguard network on the fly. Granted, this is something you have to do yourself, not something Wireguard has automatic tooling for, so I guess that's a difference :)

I use Tailscale and just invite friends to connect to my various servers from the web interface.
