Does anyone use Anywherelan? (lemmy.world)

Anywherelan (styled AWL) is a direct peer-to peer-to-peer LAN solution for self-hosting and accessing services remotely without a server infrastructure.

Tailscale connections require an account identity (or OAuth authentication through services run by Google, Microsoft, etc.) I currently use it because it's codebase is open, and there are self-hosted forks (that I have considered as a future fallback), and it is dead easy to set up and use. It "just works."

However, this just popped up on my radar and I'd never seen it before or even heard of this technology. I couldn't find any posts about it, but if it works as promised, this would be a huge improvement in terms of my overall infrastructure. It seems like a somewhat young project with very active development, but the first release goes all the way back to 2022.

Has anyone here tried it? Is it any good?
