I bring up cloudflare because the technologies involved with Tailscale are really cloudflare core competencies. Cloudflare runs 1.1.1.1/WARP which is a massive dns server and wireguard VPN, respectively. They already have Cloudflare Access. It’s a natural fit. It’s pretty easy to imagine that cloudflare is better positioned to steal customers from Tailscale than Cisco, F5, or Fortinet. Cloudflare needs to solve two problems: they need to introduce a free tier of Access that doesn’t use the CDN and creates direct connections between endpoints (to basically remove all operating costs), and they need to make the onboarding process for hobbyists easier instead of having a “contact sales” link on their homepage for these products. That’s doable.
