I am thinking of setting up an overlay network using Nebula but I am curious as to what other completely open source projects there are out there. Sure I know about the commercial ones like Tailscale and Zerotier but I'd like to know what else I might be missing.

Sorry, I commented then went to Europe for 3 weeks; Browsing detox.

Symmetric NAT wouldn't be an issue for Nebula at all -- or WireGuard, as you know, but neither ZeroTier.

If you're worried about CGNAT, it has several ways to deal with it:

The lighthouse can also act as a bastion/proxy and handle the connections for you, if your two nodes can't speak directly.

That being said.... if you're supporting other users, I think wireguard is the way to go.
