Originally created by @kennyparsons on GitHub (Jan 29, 2022).

I really love Tailscale, except that the control server is not open source and that the iOS app is a huge battery drain. It does not implement on demand capabilities. I'm very interested in this project to replace it.

Is it possible for a solution like this to generate the proper WireGuard config file to use with the WireGuard native iOS app?

So I have a finite amount of clients, say 10. I only have 2-3 that are truly mobile. Is a control server "check in" required to make it work? I'm unfamiliar with exactly how the mesh overlay is created and continuously updated for all other clients. I'm assuming a static WireGuard config would not be able to know if/when another client changes networks (dynamic ip, roaming, etc.)

As a consolation, I wonder if a static WireGuard config file could be downloaded, but options added to just connect to one "relay" server all the time and get its "mesh connectivity" from the relay, since it won't have constant updates from the control plane.
