When I saw the new round, I was instantly worried about change in direction that will most likely come with this, and effectively drive away regular users from a tool that seems universally loved.

Similar sentiment can be seen in the discussion from three years ago [1] when they raised $100M.

Try netbird which is an open-source alternative to free yourself from worries xD https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird

Thank you for sharing this link!

I was about to slog through AI search results looking for an alternative.

I've been tracking this space for a while just out of annoyance that Tailscale offers ssh on the free tier, then not on the "starter" paid tier. Netbird is by far the best of the alternatives that I've tried.

Have you tried ZeroTier? Their free plan's been working well for me. I haven't tried NetBird.
