Off-topic: Tailscale seems like such a perfect acquisition target for Cloudflare. It seems like there's perfect product and culture alignment. Amirite?

I don't think they want to be acquired and I'm not sure it's healthy for everything to get sucked into Cloudflare either.

Cloudflare tunnels/zero trust largely do the same thing as Tailscale. Yes there are some gaps but probably not acquisition worthy

[apitman]

As far as I know Cloudflare doesn't do any p2p/e2ee, which is a pretty fundamental difference

Hope not. CF is in the meantime too large to really care about “retail” that much.

[aerhardt]

What do you mean by “retail”? Because Cloudflare does plenty of products for smaller teams - I’d even say it’s a cornerstone of their strategy.

[vluft]

I sure hope you are not.

Not sure if serious. Tailscale is end to end encrypted.

Cloudflare is probably just this generation’s Crypto AG: https://www.agwa.name/blog/post/cloudflare_ssl_added_and_rem...
