Has anybody looked at whether Tailscale is subject to the US CLOUD Act? If so I can imagine we might be moving towards an open source solution like this in future.

Tailscales founders are Canadian, principled, and are very sensitive to Canadian needs. I very much trust Avery and team to do what’s necessary to keep US hands off the data.

edit: someone pointed out they’ve signed new users on to a US co. 15 months ago. I made the statement without knowing this. they aren’t as capable as I originally claimed.

According to their ToS all customer accounts registered on or after September 3, 2024 are signed on to a US company, so no they're not doing what's necessary to keep US hands off the data.

Thanks, good spot indeed. Just emailed our AM to find out what the situation is.

So.... Any account from before then is always good? Or is it about the tailnet creation date?

Very good discovery. My prior perspectives need updating.
