I love Tailscale, but this post gives me the creeps. The internet succeeded because it was built on standards and was completely free. With Tailscale, I get wireguard is open source and we have things like Headscale. But the whole everyone gets an IP, doesn’t it depend on Tailscale owning a massive ip address space? We can all wait until full ipv6 rollout, or we can depend on centralized ipv4, and servers and proprietary stuff. Maybe a bit hypocritical?

If you had to move off of tailscale, what would you move to?

I use WireGuard. As you add more keypairs, it becomes a bit of a nightmare to maintain, though Vim with syntax highlighting helps a lot.

Because of this, I'll be switching to Headscale + Tailscale.

It depends on your use case. I use wg back to two geographically independent locations, keys are managed via our ipam.

I don’t need EW traffic over the VPN, very NS based. Something like Headscale or another SDWan solution (automatically establishing vpn routes) would make sense if I needed to transport a lot of traffic E-W, that’s just not a requirement
