Did they really roll-their-own for those functions? I thought this was just a control layer on top of Tailscale’s stock services on the backend, are they facilitating connections with novel methods? Apologies if I’m asking obvious questions, I use ZeroTier pretty regularly, but I am not too familiar with Tailscale.
Can you share why you use ZeroTier over Tailscale? I run several headscale control planes and it really is nice to self-host. But, I'm curious about other options.
