I got really tired of trying to make zeus or bluewallet work over tor to talk to bitcoin and lightning services running at home. Was thinking about setting up tailscale for everything. Found (nebula)[https://github.com/slackhq/nebula] which looks a lot like an open source tailscale (not using wireguard, but still using NOISE-based cryptography; interesting and I wonder why they're not just doing wireguard. need to go read the code and do some poking). Set it up last night and so far its working great. I have a "lighthouse" (host that's used for peer discovery and NAT traversal) running on a $3/month ec2 instance. It's just used for initial connnection bootstrapping (like what tailscale does) and then from there it's all mesh. I have my phone able to get to my lightning node and bluewallet on my phone able to get to my electrs instance, etc. Going to play with it a bunch over the next few weeks. Could be a really nice solution for folks running services at home that need an easy multi-device VPN
Nice
