Description

Tailcat is a remix of Tailscale open source pieces to act like netcat, but over Tailscale's data plane, without Tailscale's control plane. Tailscale's data plane (magicsock, internally) gives you point-to-point WireGuard-encrypted tunnels between two machines with DERP as the NAT-hole-punching communication side channel and the ultimate relay-of-last-resort if NAT traversal fails. Instead of using the Tailscale control plane, all tailcat connection metadata is exchanged out of band, however you want.

Install

As a binary package — by origin, or by package name:

pkg install security/tailcat
pkg install tailcat

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/security/tailcat/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	tailcat>0:security/tailcat

Packages
