I mean the fact headscale exists and is still in decent development, means i doubt it really is an issue, what i'd like to see is an effort for an opensource tailscale client so we could use headscale without the closed source client.

Isn't the client entirely OSS? - https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale

IIRC it’s just the macOS GUI client that’s closed source? I are the CLI client (CLIent?) compiled from source.

EDIT: yep, referenced in your link! They have a very clear page[0] describing what is and isn’t open source.
