How much throughput do you need? The Pi Zero 2w will be fine on a DSL or cable connection, but it will limit your bandwidth on fiber.

@cmnybo @selfhosted enough to watch a movie? TBH I don’t need a pi zero, it was just an example of low power devices,
The Pi Zero 2w will provide more than enough performance to stream a movie over Wireguard.
@a @selfhosted I've used a pi zero. An Apple TV has pretty good power management, so might be a lower average draw for Tailscale.
@jws @selfhosted thanks! Maybe I should give some context: I’m trying to set up a Tailscale client at a family member’s house here in London, so I don’t want to spend a lot of money
