Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

I think ACL is a paid feature with TS, but maybe im wrong. Once you get to the paid tier, you are just paying someone else to manage your VPN, which is fair enough but its not something you could't also pay someone to do with wireguard (or openVPN for that matter). I think its fair to say "I pay for this service because i don't want to have to deal with configuring it myself", it might be easier to setup for some use cases, but if someone is already self-hosting things and has a DIY attitude to it, I don't think tailscale can do anything wireguard can't also do (it is based on WG afterall)

Maybe I'm not familiar enough with other kinds of setups to think of things though. My wireguard setup is basically a meshnet between several people's home servers, each person has their own subnet only they can use, but the wider 10.X.X.X is shared by everyone, its certainly not the most secure because it doesnt need to be, but if i wanted to restrict one persons access to something i certainly could do that.

ACLs are on the free tier too.
