That…isn’t the same thing at all, because your recount is factually incorrect. I’m not even a Tailscale user and I know that this isn’t equivalent.

IIRC tailscale is directly P2P, sidestepping a large part of the infra costs...

And, as far as I'm aware, they don't charge for relay bandwidth even if you do end up needing it (which most users won't).
