It’s a 10 minute read when it should probably be a 2 minute read, likely due to LLMs fluffing it up (I got that vibe from skimming it). But what do you all think, is there anything in here that would compel you to switch from your current VPN solution to this?

The only thing I like about this is the pressure it might put on tailscale to make their offering better.

    How would you improve Tailscale?

    • fix the documentation bug I reported 3 years ago, before it became a problem for stable Linux distributions. Instead of leaving up documentation that literally prevents the client from working and is an even bigger problem for stable distributions now. Yes it's my pet tiny bug, but how much effort can it really be to rewrite one section with configuration that DOESN'T break the product. I even wrote a suggestion for them.

    Off the top of my head:

    • Bring your own domain for homelab
    • Gateway/httproute support in Kubernetes operator
    • allow connecting tailnets to each other
    • allow connecting to multiple tailnets simultaneously without ridiculous workarounds

    Those last two bullets would be huge. I have a personal tailnet and another for my org. Switching between them is just annoying enough that I might even pay for that feature.
