We started using SoftEther recently to connect a couple of warehouses over fiber to our existing subnet without having to redo any of our network architecture. I’ve always felt it was the new Hamachi. Tailscale to me feels like the new DirectConnect.

Would you elaborate on what makes it the new DirectConnect?

The centralized control plane and mesh data plane, to establish a backwards compatible IP Lan is very Hamachi.

My memory of Direct Connect was that the control plane was much more distributed and fault tolerant.
