You are rebuilding tailscale but requiring a centralised hub. I did the same in 2016 (pre-tailscale?) https://web.archive.org/web/20160304013451/https://wormhole....

I am not sure WireGuard existed at the time, and I used SoftEther and based it all on doing outbound tunnels to TCP/443* to avoid firewall blocks in corporate networks.

You could explore full P2P by leveraging UDP hole punching: https://cloudnetworking.pro/firewall-bypass-series-1-2/ https://cloudnetworking.pro/firewall-bypass-encapsulating-tr...

(WireGuard may already do it, dunno)

Also, fun fact, tela is also Spanish for fabric. Given the Filipino history, I guess it comes from there.

* I know I know, TCP in TCP is a bad idea https://cloudnetworking.pro/tcp-over-tcp-is-a-bad-idea/
