Tailscale is incredibly simple to set up, and just worked when I connected a Google Cloud VPC+subnets. One problem though: There's no way for a server to maintain an auth token for more than three months. You have to manually renew it.

Nope, you can just go to the machine admin page[1], tap the three dots at the end of the line and select "Disable key expiry". [1] https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines

  It doesn't work for automatically deployed virtual machines that one would like to be connected to the vpn without interaction. You'll need to do a manual login before you can disable key expiry.
