The product is excellent. The clients are polished. The &ldquo;log in with Google and you have a mesh in 60 seconds&rdquo; experience is genuinely magical. But the control plane — the part that decides which of your machines can talk to which other machines, and where the keys for that decision live — is <strong>closed source and hosted exclusively by Tailscale</strong>. You can run <strong>Headscale</strong> to reimplement it open-source, but you&rsquo;re still bringing along Tailscale&rsquo;s proprietary clients on most platforms.</p>
