I have tailscale running on a lot of devices.

Servers, workstations, raspberry pi, various other appliances, SFPs.



You are running tailscale on an SFP???


I had to look it up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_form-factor_pluggable_...


Yes that is what they are, But what SFP actually has the ability to be programmable to the degree that is needed to support Wireguard??
