Interesting! I use it only occasionally, but I don't leave the connection on. I only turn the iOS Tailscale connection on when I need to access resources behind Tailscale.

Are you having issues with it when it's always connected?

It randomly and frequently turns off, then the connected services of course no longer work, then you turn it on manually, they still don’t work, then you hard kill safari a few times and/or toggle it on and off and it eventually works. On Linux or Windows the client is rock-solid however.

Meanwhile with wireguard: It just works. Every time. Every where. Unless someone blocks UDP.

I have a hub and spoke wireguard nerwork that has been working somewhat perfectly for years, but there always are a couple of servers that just dont want to play nice. They connect to the hub, all good, and after a few minutes/hrs connection drops and handshakes fail. Using wireguard-go on docker (older linux machines) for all of them. Its a pain.
