    Because you’re only ‘exposing’ the port on the peer to peer network.

    You “publish” a port to holesail, then clients have to create a local proxy via holesail before they can access it.

    I agree, It’s a dumb pointless claim. But I don’t think it’s misleading.

    It looks like holesail is just tailscale, but on a much smaller scale. It’s not networks, it’s just ports.

      Tailscale is entirely different; with tailscale, you are exposing your whole network. You wouldn’t want to do that when just wanting to share a normal website with 100s of people?

      Holesail on the other hand, exposes only a single port. Now you are free to share it with any random person out there
