That was exactly my reaction. Seems like some kind of publicity stunt by both companies.

- ignoramous 4y agoYou can't deny, at this point in its life, marketing is king for a newly-minted unicorn like Tailscale, as it eyes that Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership position for Zero Trust Networks ;)
- bradfitz 4y agoThere was engineering work on both sides for us to launch this. I did much of the Tailscale side. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2452 https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2452 links to all the client commits. There was also a lot of control plane stuff to let you specify config for different NextDNS profiles per tags/groups/users/etc. And NextDNS improved some things on their side too, especially around passing device info to them. And then, yes, we publicized it after working on it. And closed that bug.
- cprecioso 4y agoIs there any info on how it interacts with Magic DNS?
- bradfitz 4y agoNo different than the interaction between MagicDNS & any other upstream DNS (Google, Cloudflare, your own, etc). The built-in resolver at 100.100.100.100 handles the *.your-tailscale-suffix names in your tailnet and the rest that doesn't match goes upstream. Basically.
