Tailscale has a superior implementation of NAT traversal, and they have a distributive network of fallback relay. If user has access to communication channels established by Tailscale, we can take advantage of that.

Tailscale does have a similar service called Taildrop. However, having a narrower feature scope and being independent of Tailscale allow acp to deliver a simpler interface.

There are two ways to pass files within a Tailnet:

  1. Direct TCP connections via Tailscale network interface
  2. Taildrop

Both sides of transfer can negotiate and see if method 1 is feasible, or else fallback to method 2 (e.g. one side is running in userspace networking mode).
