The real raison d'etre with these new wave of commercial NoVPN products like this one and Tailscale is to build a high margin SaaS business without really having the infrastructure liabilities of SaaS businesses. The problem with these kinds of products is that they are, from a security perspective, a disaster. Not only your entire network is compromised if they get hacked or if even they want to get into your network whenever they want which is an unlimited power I've never seen in any SaaS product, also your network becomes prisoner to their services, so if their services go down for any reason, you and everyone in your network will be unable to connect to your network even if it's perfectly working.

At least Twingate doesn't try to do sanke oil advertising like Tailscale and sells itself as an "open source" (go have a look at their Github open issues, it's a complete disaster) while it is not. Also the other thing is, if you have a relatively small company of 50 people you will end up actually paying MORE than those seemingly overpriced yet established products like Zscaler ZPA.

For me, the only serious alternative to expensive products like ZPA are Zerotier and Pritunl. They are as transparent as open source yet still viable as businesses without being greedy or captive to VC money to extract every single dollar out of you.
