Funding scares me. It bring sharks onboard who do not share the same vision. They will demand revenue and ROI above all else. I like Tailscale but I hate this business model down to the core (Netlify as an example). Tailscale was doing fine as it was, capable people there already. It quickly became an "exit type of business", too quickly.
These companies usually bring something really easy to use, let people onboard and modify their network/DNS/etc to hell until they get vendor stuck and then they squeeze every possible dollar out of their pockets. Once you're in, after days or weeks of fine tuning, after you managed to pollute your codebase with their configs and IP addresses, it's hard to get out.
I suspect those "free slots" will change soon ,but we won't see those types of graphs anywhere soon and be prepared to get charged for bandwidth and everything else possible.
