I used ZeroTier in the past. I have migrated to Tailscale because:

* It allows for faster transfer speeds.

* It's less laggy.

* It takes less time to negotiate the P2P routes on "difficult" topologies (both peers behind CGNAT, for instance)

* It actually just works (with ZT it was hit-and-miss. mostly hit but very frustrating when miss)

* It was easier to run on my router and just use that as a gateway, as opposed to meshing all my devices (I did this with ZT but there was quite a bit of configuration and trial-and-error required -- TS just works)

Perhaps TS gets more coverage because people like it better?

I dunno.. just seems that YC companies get more upvotes/weight/whatever.

Makes sense, but it should be transparent.

Besides Tailscale not being a YC company, YC companies do not get more upvotes/weight/whatever on HN. They have to fight for attention alongside everybody else and I can tell you that they mostly find it just as frustrating.

There is one big exception to this, which is Launch HNs as described in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#yc. Each YC startup only gets one of those, and they're clearly indicated.
