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 think Nebula is much much closer to the "new internet". Lighthouse nodes can serve as untrusted brokers that help to connect everyone securely. No need in a central authority with God-like importance, as the Tailscale CEO obviously wants to have.
