How is Tailscale, just another VPN provider, comparable to Hetzner and Starlink?

I smell covert advertisement…

I’d put myself in the camp of zealous Tailscale customers.

I’ve used wireguard for years and Tailscale solved every single complaint I had about Wireguard.

Their ACL management could use a lot of polish but moving to them and paying for the service was the easiest decision to make after how well it worked. And the product has worked flawlessly for us.

Not a paid advertisement. Just someone who never ever thinks about wireguard provisioning anymore.

Same, I would invest in Tailscale if I could.

Really for years?

Yes. For years. 2018 I think?
With tailscale you press one button and it magically works, no endless fucking around with OpenVPN config files.

I have no business connection to them but am an extremely happy free tier user.

I don't call Tailscale "VPN Provider". Technically it's VPN but now "VPN Provider" means it provides "anonymous" "safe" internet connectivity.
