Tailscale is a software company founded in 2019 that raised their series A in 2020, not a grassroots community project

so either you do it out of the goodness of your heart, or you maximize shareholder value at no expense

I'd sell out at $160M, too. I'm happy for them, and sad for everyone else.

As GP said, they have raised money before. So why are you now disappointed and think they "are selling out", when nothing has changed, and Tailscale has been a clear-cut for-profit startup from the start?

Not the server.

headscale is nice, but it's not an official project.

netbird looks like it would be a better option if open source is what youre after. theres a handful of others too, nebula, zerotier, netmaker just to name a few
