He says here that they have a direct Tailscale integration of the type that requires using the `tsnet` package, which is Go. Or at least would pull in the Go runtime as part of a shared library.

Interesting choice because tailscale is not free. Building in a paid third-party service is a questionable decision.

They better acquire it, if their product catches on.

Building with wireguard directly instead of tailscale would have been my choice, but of course it requires more plumbing.VC money means they gotta move fast.

But as a potential user, I won't pay for tailscale just to use their product.

What's wrong with the Tailscale free tier?

There is also Headscale if you want to self host.

There is nothing wrong with tailscale, it's just a dependency that can cost money charged by a third-party, so their product is less self-sovereign because it depends on tailscale keeping up a free tier.

Headscale seems interesting! I'll check it out
