Are you implying they were shilling? Accusing others of shilling is against HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

So is astroturfing. Parent and most other posters should be banned for breaking that rule.

You know what that is? It’s what it looks like when a great team have product market fit.

The execution of Tailscale is second to none. It’s pretty much a masterclass in making complex things seem simple. They’ve nailed onboarding, design, great documentation and just generally presenting an image of a company you want to do business with.

I realise this possibly isn't going to make me look any better than everyone else here to you, but have you actually tried Tailscale?

It does seem to be a near perfect solution for a few very specific problems, with almost no downsides and a user interface easy enough that you could do it without any knowledge of the underlying technologies

Because they’re THAT good. Or maybe I’m a shill too :).
