Does Android ship newest kernel with Wireguard? If so can we have mesh network on Android devices?



I'm a huge fan of Tailscale, and in an effort to understand better everything they've done under the hood to make it work, I decided to redo my network with native WireGuard.

A) WireGuard works great when it's all set up! Config is a bear but it's a great protocol. Works well on lots of different devices in different usages - Android, laptops, desktops, headless servers, IoT.

B) I have even more respect for Tailscale for doing all of this in such a polished, seamless way.


We’ve been using Tailscale and it’s been excellent. I’d like the ACL system to be a bit more robust but I totally get that They’re putting their energy into a seamless experience with the nuts and bolts of the actual tech first and it really shows in how solid it has been for us.


wireguard works in userspace as well. It just works faster with kernel support.
