some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

Good to hear. I am very cautious about remote access and yggdrasil seemed like the perfect solution.

I do remember IPv6 being a pain point, by provider then (2018) didn't support it. My current ISP is planning to add IPv6 support, but still isn't there yet. :(

While development seems to be strong, their website and documentation is also still lacking.

You don't need to have ipv6 support by your provider, it's ipv6 over ipv4. You only need your hardware (phones, laptops) and software (OS, servers, clients) to support ipv6.

I use it to play LAN games with my friend from other country, kind of like Hamachi, but FOSS.

Interesting, will need to do some digging.
