I was hoping to have servers be more public, so visible on the master server list and able to be joined by random people. (I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. lol)
I think I saw that tailscale (or netbird, the open source and selfhosted version) also can reverse proxy UDP traffic.
I'll take a look at it later today.
I've spent the evening playing around with Netbird/Tailscale. Appears that UDP in Netbird requires Traefik, so I've switched over to that (wanted to do this anyway).
Turns out that Traefik is perfectly able to do the proxying over my "stupid" wireguard setup, so I'll be running that for now and look more into it later.
I am hosting 2 public game servers with my setup. My VPS exposes only those ports and I have my DNS on the same provider. That tailnet only has those servers and the VPS. The actual server boxes block all traffic except through the tailnet. The hard part is the reverse proxy on the VPS if you have never done it before.
