Not a cap. It’s the delta. About 117megabytes a second measured by windows explorer to around 101.

These are on my local network, connected to my switch over 1gig Ethernet.



Ok a 12% differential on a LAN is kind of surprising. I wonder what Tailscale could possibly doing that would be causing this issue because aside from the control plane I don't believe they're in the data path all that much. Maybe WireGuard on Windows isn't as optimized as it is on Linux?

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9bnowo/wireguard_ben... from 7 years ago is about trying to get it running at 10Gbps speeds.


IME it adds about (at least) 1ms of latency over local networks. You should be able to use a different dns suffix to use the LAN interface instead of Tailscale.
