My only issue with Tailscale was that it can't seem to stay logged in longer than something like 45 or 90 days.. making it a fun toy, but not for enterprise use.

As someone who travels a lot with machines all over the world, if a node goes offline I can ask someone to reboot a machine .. but there is no way I am giving random people credentials to my machines and network to fix issues.

There is an option to disable key expiry in the machine settings, unless you're talking about a different issue / bug. In my case, simply turning off key expiry is enough to keep the machine online for months inside tailscale network so far.
Thank you, I will take a look for this and give it a try.
Machines can have unlimited expiry

API keys have 90 day expiry but you can get around that with an oauth app that has credentials that don't expire
