// Package derp implements DERP, the Detour Encrypted Routing Protocol.
//
// DERP routes packets to clients using curve25519 keys as addresses.
//
// DERP is used by Tailscale nodes to proxy encrypted WireGuard
// packets through the Tailscale cloud servers when a direct path
// cannot be found or opened. DERP is a last resort. Both sides
// between very aggressive NATs, firewalls, no IPv6, etc? Well, DERP.
