It’s a 10 minute read when it should probably be a 2 minute read, likely due to LLMs fluffing it up (I got that vibe from skimming it). But what do you all think, is there anything in here that would compel you to switch from your current VPN solution to this?

      Tailscale is Canadian

      Ah, nice. I actually didn’t realize that. They are also open source friendly https://tailscale.com/opensource I don’t hate Tailscale, btw. They seem nice.

      But, I like Netbird lets you self-host the server components. And, an important feature for me, is that Netbird doesn’t require me to create an account with Big Tech to use the service. Right now I created a dummy account with GitHub just to use Tailscale, Netbird just allows me to create a username and password. E-Z P-Z. No extra hoops to jump through.

      After switching to Netbird, I’ll be able to get completely off of GitHub.

        headscale, an open-source reimplementation of the tailscale control server, exists. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but it claims to be an option for a fully selfhosted tailscale-compatible network.
