I like Tailscale, but this reads as too self-aggrandizing.

You have a mesh VPN product with some value-added services on top of it. That's great, but this idea isn't novel or unique. Why should your solution be the "new internet" instead of any of the alternatives?

I wouldn't want to rely on a single company for all my internet infrastructure, anyway. So I'll stick with the traditional internet with all its complexity. Its major problems aren't technical but social, and no new technology will solve those.

What's Tailscale's value prop? It's just a kludge together of various FOSS heavyweights..?
