Sadly not open source and their change notes are not yet production ready. Every release something breaks. I switched back to pure wireguard because of this. I also wouldn't call tailscale and netmakers ui comparable. Netmaker has far more options. Tailscale tries an apple approach by hiding almost everything but DNS.

> Sadly not open source

Just to clarify this take, the source is available on Github [0] but licensed under the highly controversial Server Side Public License [1][2].

This license was originally written by MongoDB. They applied to get it recognised as an open source license with the OSI but later withdrew the application as it became clear it wouldn't have been approved.

OSI explained in 2019 [3] why it didn't consider the license to be open source.

In case you want open source self-hosted tailscale there's https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

It looks impressive.
