They are open source too: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale edit: Only the client is open source. See clarification

  The control server is not open source. Thankfully headspace https://github.com/juanfont/headscale https://github.com/juanfont/headscale is filling that gap

  The clients are. The control server, which is the bit that Tailscale host, is not. There is an open source alternative called headscale [0]. The main downside is that you'll need to run it. The closed source centralised control server has other potential issues though, and it ends up being up to the user to decide what's the right balance of security vs convenience.

    To be clear, headscale is an alternative to the control server, compatible with Tailscale clients.
