Godot Tailscale P2P

I built a GDExtension that provides P2P multiplayer networking for Godot 4 using Tailscale. Players can connect directly across the internet without any dedicated servers. GitHub - johnson270cpu/godot-tailscale-p2p: P2P multiplayer extension for Godot 4 using Tailscale. Connect players directly without servers. Currently Linux, seeking contributors for Windows/macOS/Android. · GitHub

:sparkles: Features

  • Direct P2P connections - No central server required
  • Works with Godot’s built-in MultiplayerPeer and RPC system
  • NAT traversal using Tailscale
