The way it works in enterprise that is principal engineers like me are generally given some freedom to explore new technologies responsibly. In my mind, that includes visiting the Tailscale website (which started being blocked by our IT yesterday) to gather information about whether this would be a good alternative technology for our research teams.

Now what I have to do is file a bunch of tickets and take a bunch of meetings to get a block removed from the overall site. Really, what I was trying to do is provide nformation to the Tailscale developers that enterprise already considers their website/product scary enough to do a whole block, and if they want to expand into enterprise, they may want to understand the reasons for that.

Not all large enterprises are this disfunctional. I'm sure Tailscale are doing just fine.
