Hello everyone,
I see that our Firewall USG Flex H Series, implement Tailscale, only a user-friendly VPN based on WireGuard protocol.

My idea is to convert the Tailscale third party service, with the real WireGuard solution. As also explained by Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/compare/wireguard) is more complex to configure a WireGuard VPN, but is more stable, secure and offer better performances than Tailscale.
Also, as suggested by Tailscale ifself, using Tailscale introduces a direct dependencies on product, if Tailscale closes, the service closes itself; using Tailscale introduces a direct dependencies also in Tailscale's security, keys managements and network traffic ACLs is only possible with paid solutions.
Also in performances WireGuard is better, because it is directly available into the linux kernel module, instead Tailscale is only a Wireguard third party external implementation.

So… OK Tailscale is more user-friendly, is more flexible and convenient for 95% of people, but if our Firewall, can directly use the Wireguard protocol I think that is more secure.

What do you think?
