No, Tailscale is a VPN that lets people connect to your network.

Holesail on the other hand, allows anyone to access your ports even if you are on a dynamic IP address. They do not have to be in the same network

Time taken to create a instant reverse proxy with holesail:

1. sudo npm i holesail -g
2. sudo holesail <my-connection-string> --port 80 --host mydomain.com
3. Done

TIme taken to setup a VPS, then caddy, then tailscale + caddy: -1

It uses the Kademliya algorithm at its core, the same algorithm as BitTorrent. You can fork hyperswarm/hyperdht and bootstrap the nodes yourself.

The above assumptions are incorrect:

1. Holesail is not a VPN.
2. It does not use Wireguard
3. Holesail does not need a Relay server
4. Holesail has two modes, public and private. Public mode is like a domain name, people can find you and connect to you. Private mode on the other hand has a key/pair authentication, only the person with the “connection string” can access your ports.
5. Wireguard is a VPN, you would not use it for sharing everything, thats like adding everyone to your home network.

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

Kind of, yes

You still need the “Internet” to access your local network from anywhere.

That’s also how NAT works, you only expose the ports you choose. Attackers can find and attack you with Dynamic DNS and Static IP address, it is not possible with Holesail

Holesail is not a VPN application, and yes, we stay up-to-date with our technology. Anyone scanning for open ports can not connect to you unless you share your connection string with them.

You are right, it is similar to that. Your router keeps ports and connections closed for the public world, but holesail sets them live from behind the firewall and someone using Holesail + your “connection string” can find you and connect with you.

Opening ports with holesail does not mean anyone on the Internet can access them; someone has to use holesail, and they need to know your “connection string” in order to connect.

Discord now has threads that are searchable, we are a fairly new project and creating our presence on all the platforms take some time.

Discord is a legitimate form of contact, we are available through Email, Discord, Reddit, Github Issues, Keet and soon other platforms.
