Perhaps narrowlink doesn't want to draw attention to this: https://github.com/narrowlink/narrowlink/blob/main/LICENSE.m...
What’s to draw attention to there? MPL and AGPL are both Open Source licenses.
> Narrowlink and Tailscale are two open source solutions with different architectures that enable secure remote access and connectivity across networks. A nitpick, but ironically I think they're being generous to Tailscale there. Tailscale isn't really "open source" - or at least not without heavy qualification.

I'm not sure if it clears the bar of official, but it seems to be not-unofficial. They were planning on open-sourcing a coordination server once they cleaned the code up, but then decided that there was no point in doing so due to Headscale. On top of that, one of the primary maintainers of Headscale works at Tailscale now.

Reverse nit, there is a UI for headscale: https://github.com/gurucomputing/headscale-ui Granted, that's also not tailscale.
> Granted, that's also not tailscale. I take your point, but they're technically not Headscale either! Yes there are a few third-party UIs for Headscale but now we are 3 times removed from Tailscale :)
This article is classic SEO fluff right? The Q&A style answering exactly the type of questions that people comparing the two would write into google search.

In other words, disingenuous advertising.

We tried switching to Headscale recently...it was not a pleasant experience. I'm sure with more time in the oven, it will eventually become a comparable replacement, but I wouldn't be relying on it for anything production oriented.
Headscale dev here! What issues did you face? :)
Like I said, I'm sure it's coming along fine, it's not just something that we were able to set and forget like with the Tailscale experience.

I was drawing attention to this line in your README: > This project is not associated with Tailscale Inc. :)
I am pretty sure they would have eventually published a control server.
We just happened to be quicker (and come up with a great name, IMHO).
