Really impressive to see Tailscale employees recommending free alternatives to their own service!
- bradfitz 5y agoNot much to lose. Very few interested in self hosting are probably the type who are going to pay anyway! :) So worst case they help with the open source code or bug reports or they get sick of self hosting and pay (or use our hosted one for free).
- stavros 5y agoCan I self-host but still pay you an enterprise contract for when things go wrong? Or is that not supported?
- crawshaw 5y agoHappy to discuss, send us an email! It is possible for enterprises, though we encourage users to first see if the hosted version will work for them because support is difficult, and thus significantly more expensive, for self-hosting.
- stavros 5y agoI will if we end up trying it out, though I think we'll just go with your version anyway. It's between you guys and Cloudflare, AFAIK, as Cloudflare's VPN does authentication to services easier too.
- kondro 5y agoAt $5/user/month (as a small company) it's MUCH easier to pay Tailscale than run something myself.
- stavros 5y agoI wouldn't run it myself out of price sensitivity, but more because of trust. Then again, I imagine the keys are generated on the device and the code can be audited to never share them, plus it's WG under the hood.
