Even if it could mean Tailscale enshittifies eventually, this is probably a good thing for the ecosystem. As one example, the bigger they get, the more likely operating systems will build better APIs to support what they do (for example maybe Apple will provide a way to do mDNS over Tailscale), and those APIs can be used by all. There are plenty of open source alternatives cropping up[0]. I'm curious to see what Tail…
Off-topic, but it makes me laugh that companies will list their “investors”, “advisors”, etc. on their company page, but not the people working there. That said, Tailscale is one of the products that just works.
Does anybody encounter issues with DNS after installing tailscale with it's MagicDNS enabled? It drives me nuts because my entire network just stops working. I removed tailscale but still won't be able to connect to my Ubuntu server.

Tailscale is a great. I think of it as a swiss army knife for easier routing and connectivity.

so tailscale is selling out that was disappointing at least the current software is open source, so others can fork it before it closes down on itself and enshittifies.
Tailscale is a software company founded in 2019 that raised their series A in 2020, not a grassroots community project
I'd sell out at $160M, too. I'm happy for them, and sad for everyone else.
